Key differences between Fortran and Haskell
Characteristic | Fortran | Haskell |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a simple and concise syntax, with a focus on numerical computations. | Haskell has a more complex and expressive syntax, with a focus on functional programming. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily an imperative and procedural language. | Haskell is a purely functional language. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing with optional dynamic typing features. | Haskell has strong static typing with type inference. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in numerical computations. | Haskell's performance depends on the specific implementation and optimization techniques used. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing. | Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as Fortran in certain domains. |
Community and support | Fortran has a long-standing community and good support for scientific and numerical computing. | Haskell has a smaller but active community with good support from the functional programming community. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those familiar with other imperative languages. | Haskell has a steeper learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming concepts. |
