Key differences between Fortran and Pascal

CharacteristicFortranPascal
SyntaxFortran has a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules.Pascal has a free-format syntax with more flexible rules.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural programming language.Pascal supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.
TypingFortran has static typing with optional type declarations.Pascal has static typing with mandatory type declarations.
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing.Pascal is generally not optimized for high-performance computing.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing.Pascal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Fortran.
Community and supportFortran has an active community and good support for scientific and numerical computing.Pascal has a smaller community and limited support compared to Fortran.
Learning curveFortran has a steeper learning curve due to its strict syntax and focus on scientific computing.Pascal has a relatively easier learning curve with a more general-purpose focus.
