How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Ruby 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 Ruby code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml to Ruby 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 Ruby
Characteristic | OCaml | Ruby |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a statically-typed, functional programming syntax with a strong type inference system. | Ruby has a dynamically-typed, object-oriented programming syntax with a flexible and expressive syntax. |
Paradigm | OCaml supports functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming paradigms. | Ruby is primarily an object-oriented programming language with support for functional programming. |
Typing | OCaml has static typing with type inference, ensuring type safety at compile-time. | Ruby has dynamic typing, allowing for more flexibility but potentially leading to runtime errors. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution. | Ruby is generally slower in terms of performance compared to statically-typed languages like OCaml. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Ruby. | Ruby has a large and mature ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it easier to find existing solutions. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller community and less extensive support compared to Ruby. | Ruby has a large and active community with extensive support and resources available. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and syntax. | Ruby has a relatively gentle learning curve, making it more beginner-friendly. |
