Key differences between Fortran and C++

CharacteristicFortranC++
SyntaxFortran has a simpler syntax compared to C++.C++ has a more complex syntax compared to Fortran.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural language with some support for object-oriented programming.C++ is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming.
TypingFortran is a statically typed language.C++ is a statically typed language with support for dynamic typing through templates and runtime type identification (RTTI).
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance in scientific and engineering applications.C++ is also known for its high performance and is often used in systems programming and game development.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a smaller selection of libraries and frameworks compared to C++.C++ has a large selection of libraries and frameworks available, including Boost, Qt, and STL.
Community and supportFortran has a smaller community compared to C++.C++ has a large and active community with many resources and support available.
Learning curveFortran has a steeper learning curve compared to C++.C++ has a relatively steep learning curve, but it is easier to learn than Fortran due to its more modern syntax and larger community.
