This free online converter lets you convert code from Ruby to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Ruby and OCaml
Characteristic | Ruby | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Ruby has a more flexible and expressive syntax with a focus on readability and simplicity. | OCaml has a more strict and concise syntax with a focus on functional programming. |
Paradigm | Ruby is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented programming and also has some functional programming features. | OCaml is a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Ruby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | OCaml is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | Ruby is generally slower in terms of performance compared to OCaml. | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution. |
Libraries and frameworks | Ruby has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails, which makes web development easier. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Ruby, but it still has some useful ones for specific domains. |
Community and support | Ruby has a large and active community with plenty of resources and support available. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to Ruby, but it is still active and has dedicated users who provide support. |
Learning curve | Ruby has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with prior experience in programming. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for those who are new to functional programming concepts. |
