How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Scala to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Scala code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Clojure code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Scala to Clojure using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
Scala
Clojure
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Scala and Clojure
Characteristic | Scala | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Scala has a syntax that is similar to Java, but with more advanced features such as pattern matching and higher-order functions. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax that is very different from Java and other C-like languages. It is designed to be concise and expressive. |
Paradigm | Scala is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming. | Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and persistent data structures. |
Typing | Scala is a statically typed language with type inference, which means that the compiler can often infer the types of variables and expressions without explicit type annotations. | Clojure is a dynamically typed language, which means that types are checked at runtime rather than compile time. |
Performance | Scala is generally considered to be a high-performance language, with performance comparable to Java. | Clojure is also a high-performance language, but its performance can be affected by its emphasis on immutability and persistent data structures. |
Libraries and frameworks | Scala has a large and growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Akka, Play, and Spark. | Clojure has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it includes popular ones like Ring, Compojure, and core.async. |
Community and support | Scala has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and getting help. | Clojure also has a dedicated community, but it is smaller than Scala's and may be harder to find support for specific issues. |
Learning curve | Scala has a steeper learning curve than some other languages, especially for those who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. | Clojure has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for those who are already familiar with Lisp or functional programming. |
