How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Swift to Racket in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Swift code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Racket code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Swift to Racket 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.

Key differences between Swift and Racket
Characteristic | Swift | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Swift has a syntax similar to other C-based languages, making it familiar to developers with experience in languages like C++, Java, and JavaScript. | Racket has a unique syntax that is based on Lisp. It uses parentheses extensively for function calls and expressions. |
Paradigm | Swift is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming. | Racket is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming and is particularly well-suited for writing domain-specific languages. |
Typing | Swift is a statically-typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | Racket is a dynamically-typed language, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Swift is known for its high performance and is often used for developing performance-critical applications. | Racket is an interpreted language and may not have the same level of performance as compiled languages like Swift. |
Libraries and frameworks | Swift has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like SwiftUI, Alamofire, and CoreData. | Racket has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Swift, but it has a strong focus on language-oriented programming. |
Community and support | Swift has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support from Apple. | Racket has a smaller community compared to Swift, but it has dedicated users and a supportive community. |
Learning curve | Swift has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-based languages. | Racket has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. |
