CodeConvert AI - Convert code with a click of a button

How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Lua 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 Lua code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml to Lua 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.

OCaml

Lua

Example 2 - Even or Odd

A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

OCaml

Lua

Key differences between OCaml and Lua

Characteristic	OCaml	Lua
Syntax	OCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability.	Lua has a simple and lightweight syntax, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
Paradigm	OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.	Lua is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports some features of functional programming.
Typing	OCaml has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time.	Lua is dynamically typed, allowing for more flexibility but potentially leading to runtime errors.
Performance	OCaml is known for its performance, with efficient memory management and native code compilation.	Lua is designed for simplicity and portability, sacrificing some performance optimizations.
Libraries and frameworks	OCaml has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for scientific computing and formal verification.	Lua has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it is often used as an embedded scripting language in larger projects.
Community and support	OCaml has an active community and strong support from the academic and research communities.	Lua has a smaller but dedicated community, with good documentation and support available.
Learning curve	OCaml has a steeper learning curve, particularly for programmers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts.	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it accessible to beginners and experienced programmers alike.
