Key differences between Fortran and Scheme

CharacteristicFortranScheme
SyntaxFortran has a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules.Scheme has a flexible and minimalistic syntax with parentheses for function calls and expressions.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming.Scheme is a functional programming language with support for procedural programming.
TypingFortran has static typing with optional type declarations.Scheme has dynamic typing where variables are not explicitly declared with types.
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing.Scheme is not typically used for performance-critical applications.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing.Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Fortran.
