This free online converter lets you convert code from Zig to OCaml in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Zig | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like, minimalistic, explicit, and imperative with a focus on readability and simplicity. | ML-family, functional, uses pattern matching, indentation and type inference, more abstract and expressive. |
Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming. | Multi-paradigm: functional (primary), imperative, and object-oriented. |
Typing | Statically typed, no type inference, explicit types, no null or undefined values. | Statically typed, strong type inference, supports parametric polymorphism and algebraic data types. |
Performance | High performance, close to C, manual memory management, suitable for systems programming. | Good performance for a functional language, garbage collected, not as fast as C or Zig for low-level tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, growing standard library, limited third-party libraries. | Mature ecosystem, OPAM package manager, many libraries for functional programming, web, and scientific computing. |
Community and support | Smaller, newer community, active development, responsive core team. | Established academic and industrial community, strong support, extensive documentation. |
Learning curve | Moderate, easier for those with C/C++ background, explicit and simple syntax. | Steeper, especially for those new to functional programming, but aided by type inference and expressive syntax. |
