How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Scheme code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Scheme 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.

OCaml

Example 2 - Even or Odd

A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Scheme and OCaml

CharacteristicSchemeOCaml
SyntaxScheme has a simple and minimalist syntax with a heavy use of parentheses for function calls and expressions.OCaml has a more traditional syntax with a mix of keywords, operators, and punctuation.
ParadigmScheme is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
TypingScheme is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.OCaml is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time.
PerformanceScheme is generally slower in terms of performance compared to OCaml.OCaml is known for its efficient performance and can be faster than Scheme in many cases.
Libraries and frameworksScheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to OCaml.OCaml has a larger ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it easier to find existing solutions for various tasks.
Community and supportScheme has a smaller community and less support compared to OCaml.OCaml has a larger and more active community with better support from the language developers.
Learning curveScheme has a relatively steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.OCaml has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with other statically typed languages.
