Key differences between Fortran and Groovy
Characteristic | Fortran | Groovy |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules. | Groovy has a flexible and dynamic syntax similar to Java. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language. | Groovy is a multi-paradigm language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing. | Groovy has dynamic typing. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. | Groovy is not optimized for performance and is generally slower than compiled languages like Fortran. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a limited number of libraries and frameworks compared to other languages. | Groovy has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, especially for Java integration. |
Community and support | Fortran has a smaller community and less active support compared to popular languages. | Groovy has a larger community and active support from the Java community. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners. | Groovy has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java. |
