How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Erlang 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 Erlang 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.
Erlang
OCaml
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Erlang and OCaml
Characteristic | Erlang | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | OCaml has a more traditional syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | OCaml is statically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may have lower raw performance compared to some other languages. | OCaml is known for its performance and can be highly optimized. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a strong ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to some other languages, but still has a good selection available. |
Community and support | Erlang has an active community and good support from the language creators. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to some other languages, but still has dedicated users and good support. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. |
