Key differences between Fortran and Elm
Characteristic | Fortran | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran uses a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules. | Elm uses a whitespace-sensitive syntax with a strong emphasis on readability. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming. | Elm is a functional programming language that promotes immutability and pure functions. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing with optional type declarations. | Elm has static typing with type inference, ensuring type safety at compile-time. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. | Elm prioritizes developer productivity and simplicity over raw performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific computing and numerical analysis. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, primarily focused on web development. |
Community and support | Fortran has an established community and extensive support for scientific and engineering applications. | Elm has a growing community with active support from the core development team. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a steeper learning curve due to its complex syntax and historical baggage. | Elm has a gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. |
