This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Fortran in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your OCaml code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Fortran code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Key differences between OCaml and Fortran

CharacteristicOCamlFortran
SyntaxOCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability.Fortran has a syntax that is more similar to traditional imperative programming languages, with a focus on mathematical computations and array operations.
ParadigmOCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.Fortran is primarily an imperative programming language, with limited support for functional and object-oriented programming.
TypingOCaml has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time.Fortran has a static type system, but it is not as strong as OCaml's and allows for more flexibility.
PerformanceOCaml is known for its efficient performance, especially in terms of execution speed and memory usage.Fortran is also known for its high performance, particularly in scientific and numerical computations.
Libraries and frameworksOCaml has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more popular languages.Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, particularly for scientific and engineering applications.
Community and supportOCaml has a smaller but dedicated community, with active support from the OCaml Software Foundation and other organizations.Fortran has a long-standing community, especially in the scientific and engineering fields, with good support from various resources.
Learning curveOCaml has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with functional programming concepts.Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, particularly for programmers without prior experience in scientific or numerical computing.
