This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Golang 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 Golang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml to Golang 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 Golang
Characteristic | OCaml | Golang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability. | Golang has a syntax that is similar to C, with a focus on simplicity and readability. |
Paradigm | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. | Golang is primarily an imperative language with support for concurrent programming. |
Typing | OCaml has a strong static type system with type inference, which helps catch errors at compile-time. | Golang has a static type system with explicit type declarations. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its efficient runtime system and can achieve high performance in certain scenarios. | Golang is designed for high-performance applications and provides efficient garbage collection. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Golang, but it has strong support for functional programming. | Golang has a large standard library and a growing ecosystem of third-party libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller community compared to Golang, but it has dedicated users and active development. | Golang has a large and active community with strong support from Google. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a steeper learning curve compared to Golang, especially for programmers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. | Golang has a relatively low learning curve, making it easier for beginners to get started. |
