Key differences between Fortran and Kotlin

CharacteristicFortranKotlin
SyntaxFortran has a syntax that is more similar to mathematical notation, making it easier for scientists and engineers to write and read code. However, it may be more difficult for beginners to learn.Kotlin has a modern and concise syntax that is easy to read and write. It is similar to Java, but with more advanced features and fewer boilerplate code.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports object-oriented programming to some extent.Kotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming styles.
TypingFortran is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile time.Kotlin is also a statically typed language, but it also supports type inference, which allows the compiler to determine the type of a variable based on its usage.
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance and efficiency, especially in scientific and engineering applications.Kotlin is not specifically designed for high performance, but it can still achieve good performance when optimized properly.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a limited number of libraries and frameworks compared to other languages, but it has a strong focus on scientific and engineering applications.Kotlin has a growing number of libraries and frameworks, especially for Android development, but it may not have as many options as more established languages like Java.
Community and supportFortran has a smaller community compared to other languages, but it has a dedicated following in the scientific and engineering communities.Kotlin has a growing community, especially in the Android development community, and it is backed by JetBrains, a well-established software development company.
Learning curveFortran has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners who are not familiar with mathematical notation or procedural programming.Kotlin has a relatively easy learning curve, especially for developers who are already familiar with Java or other object-oriented languages.
