Key differences between Fortran and Swift

CharacteristicFortranSwift
SyntaxFortran has a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules.Swift has a modern, expressive, and concise syntax.
ParadigmFortran is primarily a procedural programming language.Swift is a multi-paradigm language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming.
TypingFortran has static typing.Swift has strong static typing with type inference.
PerformanceFortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing.Swift is a high-performance language, but it may not be as optimized for scientific computing as Fortran.
Libraries and frameworksFortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing.Swift has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options for scientific computing as Fortran.
Community and supportFortran has a dedicated community and good support for scientific computing.Swift has a large and active community with good support from Apple and the open-source community.
Learning curveFortran has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners.Swift has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for those familiar with modern programming languages.
