This free online converter lets you convert code from Racket to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Racket code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Racket to OCaml 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 Racket and OCaml
Characteristic | Racket | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and uses parentheses extensively. | OCaml has a more traditional syntax with infix notation and uses semicolons and parentheses for grouping. |
Paradigm | Racket supports multiple paradigms including functional programming, object-oriented programming, and logic programming. | OCaml is primarily a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Racket is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and expressive code. | OCaml is statically typed, providing strong type checking and compile-time type inference. |
Performance | Racket is generally slower in terms of performance compared to OCaml. | OCaml is known for its efficient performance and can be faster than Racket in many cases. |
Libraries and frameworks | Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for various purposes, including web development, GUI programming, and data analysis. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Racket, but it still offers support for web development, systems programming, and scientific computing. |
Community and support | Racket has a supportive and active community with regular updates and documentation. | OCaml also has a dedicated community, but it may not be as large or active as Racket's community. |
Learning curve | Racket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners due to its simplicity and extensive documentation. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners, as it requires understanding functional programming concepts and its type system. |
