Key differences between Erlang and Fortran
Characteristic | Erlang | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Fortran has a more traditional syntax that is similar to other imperative programming languages. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Fortran is an imperative programming language. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | Fortran is statically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance. | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. | Fortran has libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computations. |
Community and support | Erlang has a small but dedicated community with good support. | Fortran has a long-standing community with good support for scientific and numerical computing. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve due to its syntax and lack of modern language features. |
