Key differences between Fortran and Lua

Characteristic	Fortran	Lua
Syntax	Fortran uses a fixed-format syntax, which can be difficult to read and write for some programmers. However, it has a simple and consistent syntax that is easy to learn and understand.	Lua has a flexible and easy-to-learn syntax that is similar to other scripting languages like Python and Ruby. It uses a free-format syntax that allows for more readable and maintainable code.
Paradigm	Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports object-oriented programming (OOP) to some extent.	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming (OOP).
Typing	Fortran is a statically-typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile-time.	Lua is a dynamically-typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Fortran is known for its high performance and efficiency, especially in scientific and engineering applications.	Lua is a lightweight language that is designed for embedded systems and scripting, and is not typically used for high-performance applications.
Libraries and frameworks	Fortran has a large number of libraries and frameworks for scientific and engineering applications, including LAPACK, BLAS, and FFTW.	Lua has a small but growing number of libraries and frameworks, including LuaJIT, LÖVE, and Torch.
Community and support	Fortran has a large and active community of developers and users, especially in the scientific and engineering fields. It is also supported by many vendors and organizations.	Lua has a smaller but dedicated community of developers and users, and is supported by the Lua.org website and mailing list.
Learning curve	Fortran has a steep learning curve, especially for programmers who are not familiar with scientific and engineering applications. However, it has a large number of resources and tutorials available online.	Lua has a relatively easy learning curve, especially for programmers who are familiar with other scripting languages. It has a small but growing number of resources and tutorials available online.
