How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to CoffeeScript in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your OCaml code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting CoffeeScript code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml to CoffeeScript 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 OCaml and CoffeeScript
Characteristic | OCaml | CoffeeScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability. | CoffeeScript has a syntax that is inspired by JavaScript, but with a more concise and expressive syntax that eliminates some of the boilerplate code. |
Paradigm | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports both functional programming and imperative programming. | CoffeeScript is a programming language that compiles to JavaScript and follows the object-oriented programming paradigm. |
Typing | OCaml is a statically typed language with type inference, which means that types are checked at compile-time. | CoffeeScript is a dynamically typed language, which means that types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution, making it suitable for performance-critical applications. | CoffeeScript's performance is dependent on the underlying JavaScript engine, as it compiles to JavaScript. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for functional programming. | CoffeeScript can leverage the vast ecosystem of JavaScript libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller but dedicated community with active support from the OCaml community and maintainers. | CoffeeScript benefits from the large JavaScript community and has good support from the CoffeeScript community. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for programmers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. | CoffeeScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers who are already familiar with JavaScript. |
