Key differences between Fortran and OCaml

CharacteristicFortranOCaml
SyntaxFortran uses a fixed-format syntax with column-based layout.OCaml uses a more flexible and modern syntax with significant whitespace.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural programming language.OCaml supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
TypingFortran has static typing with optional type declarations.OCaml has strong static typing with type inference.
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing.OCaml has good performance but may not be as optimized for numerical computations as Fortran.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing.OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Fortran, but still offers support for various domains.
Community and supportFortran has a long-standing community and good support for scientific computing.OCaml has a smaller community compared to Fortran, but still has active support and development.
Learning curveFortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners.OCaml has a moderate learning curve, with functional programming concepts potentially requiring some adjustment.
