How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Fsharp 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 Fsharp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml to Fsharp 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 Fsharp
Characteristic | OCaml | Fsharp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a more traditional syntax with a strong emphasis on functional programming. | F# has a more modern and concise syntax with support for both functional and object-oriented programming. |
Paradigm | OCaml is primarily a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming. | F# is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | OCaml has a strong static type system with type inference. | F# has a strong static type system with type inference. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution. | F# is generally considered to have good performance, but it may not be as optimized as OCaml in certain scenarios. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to F#. | F# has a larger ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to OCaml, including integration with the .NET ecosystem. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller community and less commercial support compared to F#. | F# has a larger community and more commercial support compared to OCaml, especially due to its integration with the .NET ecosystem. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for programmers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. | F# has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for programmers who are already familiar with C# or other .NET languages. |
