This free online converter lets you convert code from Grain to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Grain | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Cleansed, modern syntax inspired by ReasonML and OCaml, designed to be approachable for JavaScript developers. | Traditional ML-family syntax, more verbose and less familiar to those from C-like languages. |
Paradigm | Functional-first, supports some imperative features, designed for WebAssembly. | Functional-first, multi-paradigm (supports imperative and object-oriented programming). |
Typing | Statically typed with type inference, similar to OCaml but with some simplifications. | Statically typed with powerful type inference, supports advanced type system features. |
Performance | Optimized for WebAssembly, good performance in browser and WASM environments. | Compiles to native code and bytecode, generally fast, but not designed for WebAssembly. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, fewer libraries and frameworks due to its youth. | Mature ecosystem with a wide range of libraries and tools, especially for systems and academic use. |
Community and support | Small but growing community, limited resources and support. | Established community, good documentation, active academic and industrial support. |
Learning curve | Gentler learning curve for those familiar with JavaScript or modern functional languages. | Steeper learning curve due to unique syntax and advanced type system. |
