How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Kotlin to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Kotlin 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 Kotlin 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.

Key differences between Kotlin and OCaml
Characteristic | Kotlin | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Kotlin has a syntax similar to Java, making it easy for Java developers to learn and use. | OCaml has a syntax that is more functional and expressive compared to Kotlin. |
Paradigm | Kotlin supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming paradigms. | OCaml is a functional programming language. |
Typing | Kotlin is statically typed with type inference, providing type safety and reducing boilerplate code. | OCaml is also statically typed but with a powerful type inference system. |
Performance | Kotlin is designed to have similar performance to Java, as it runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). | OCaml is known for its efficient performance, especially in numerical and scientific computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Kotlin has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with good integration with existing Java libraries. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Kotlin, but it has strong support for functional programming. |
Community and support | Kotlin has a large and active community, with good documentation and support from JetBrains, the company behind Kotlin. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to Kotlin, but it has dedicated users and good support from the OCaml community. |
Learning curve | Kotlin has a relatively low learning curve, especially for Java developers, due to its similarity to Java. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. |
