How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Elixir to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Elixir code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Elixir to OCaml 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.
Elixir
OCaml
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

OCaml
Key differences between Elixir and OCaml
Characteristic | Elixir | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elixir has a Ruby-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and readability. | OCaml has a more traditional ML syntax with a strong emphasis on static typing. |
Paradigm | Elixir is a functional programming language with support for concurrent and distributed programming. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Elixir is dynamically typed with strong type inference. | OCaml is statically typed with strong type inference. |
Performance | Elixir runs on the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM) which provides excellent concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may have slightly lower raw performance compared to OCaml. | OCaml is a compiled language that can achieve high performance, especially in computationally intensive tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elixir has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on web development and distributed systems. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Elixir, but it has strong support for functional programming and formal verification. |
Community and support | Elixir has a vibrant and welcoming community with active support from the core team and a large number of open-source contributors. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to Elixir, but it has a dedicated user base and active development. |
Learning curve | Elixir has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby or functional programming concepts. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to functional programming or static typing. |
