Ceylon to Tiny lisp, 76

shared void run(){print("(q((x)(s ``process.readLine()else""``(s 0 x))))");}

This produces (after reading a line of input) output like (q((x)(s 5(s 0 x)))), which evaluates in Tiny Lisp to ((x) (s 5 (s 0 x))), a function which takes an argument x, subtracts it from 0, and subtracts the result from 5. _{(Yeah, this is how one adds in Tiny Lisp, there is only a subtraction function build in. Of course, one could define an addition function first, but this would be longer.)}

You can use it like this as an anonymous function:

((q((x)(s 5(s 0 x)))) 7)

(This will evaluate to 12.)

Or you can give it a name:

(d p5 (q((x)(s 5(s 0 x)))))
(p5 7)

Ceylon to Tiny lisp, 75

shared void run(){print("((x) (s ``process.readLine()else""`` (s 0 x)))");}

This produces output like ((x) (s 5 (s 0 x))), which is a Tiny Lisp function which takes an argument x, subtracts it from 0, and subtracts the result from 5.

(To actually use this function, you'll first have to quote it.)
