How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Rust to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Rust 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 Rust 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.
Rust
OCaml
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

OCaml
Key differences between Rust and OCaml
Characteristic | Rust | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Rust has a syntax that is similar to C++ and is known for its focus on memory safety and concurrency. | OCaml has a syntax that is influenced by functional programming and is known for its strong type inference. |
Paradigm | Rust supports both imperative and functional programming paradigms. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Rust has a strong static type system that prevents many common programming errors. | OCaml also has a strong static type system with type inference, allowing for safer and more expressive code. |
Performance | Rust is known for its high performance and low-level control over system resources. | OCaml is generally considered to have good performance, but it may not be as efficient as Rust for certain use cases. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more established languages. | OCaml has a rich set of libraries and frameworks available, particularly for functional programming. |
Community and support | Rust has a vibrant and active community with strong support from its developers. | OCaml also has a dedicated community, although it may not be as large or active as Rust's community. |
Learning curve | Rust has a steep learning curve due to its focus on memory safety and low-level programming concepts. | OCaml has a moderate learning curve, particularly for developers familiar with functional programming. |
