Key differences between Fortran and Racket

CharacteristicFortranRacket
SyntaxFortran has a simple and concise syntax, primarily focused on numerical computations.Racket has a flexible and expressive syntax, supporting both functional and imperative programming styles.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural programming language, with support for object-oriented programming in newer versions.Racket is a multi-paradigm language, supporting functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
TypingFortran has static typing, with the ability to explicitly declare variable types.Racket has dynamic typing, allowing variables to hold values of any type.
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance in numerical computations, especially for scientific and engineering applications.Racket is a general-purpose language and may not have the same level of performance as Fortran in numerical computations.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for scientific and engineering applications.Racket has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on language-oriented programming.
Community and supportFortran has a dedicated community and good support for scientific and engineering applications.Racket has an active community and good support, especially for language-oriented programming.
Learning curveFortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners without prior programming experience.Racket has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on teaching programming concepts and language design.
