This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Nim in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | OCaml | Nim |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Functional, ML-family syntax with significant whitespace and pattern matching; concise but can be unfamiliar to newcomers. | Python-like, indentation-based syntax; more approachable and familiar to users of modern scripting languages. |
Paradigm | Primarily functional, with strong support for imperative and object-oriented styles. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and type safety. | Statically typed with type inference; allows optional dynamic typing via 'variant' types. |
Performance | High performance, native code via optimizing compiler; garbage collected. | Very high performance, compiles to C/C++/JavaScript; can match or exceed C in speed; garbage collected with options for manual memory management. |
Libraries and frameworks | Decent standard library; ecosystem is smaller but growing, with OPAM as the main package manager. | Smaller but rapidly growing ecosystem; Nimble as package manager; can use C libraries easily due to seamless FFI. |
Community and support | Established academic and industrial community; good documentation; active but smaller user base. | Younger, enthusiastic community; active development; smaller but growing user base and resources. |
Learning curve | Steep for those unfamiliar with functional programming or ML syntax. | Gentler, especially for those with Python or C experience. |
