Key differences between Fsharp and Fortran

CharacteristicFsharpFortran
SyntaxF# has a modern and concise syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages.Fortran has a more traditional syntax that is primarily used for scientific and engineering applications.
ParadigmF# is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.Fortran is primarily an imperative programming language with limited support for other paradigms.
TypingF# is a statically typed language with type inference, which allows for safer and more concise code.Fortran is also a statically typed language, but it requires explicit type declarations for variables.
PerformanceF# is known for its high performance and efficient execution, especially when used for numerical computations.Fortran is optimized for scientific and engineering calculations, making it highly efficient in terms of performance.
Libraries and frameworksF# has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including support for web development, data analysis, and machine learning.Fortran has a limited number of libraries and frameworks, primarily focused on scientific and engineering applications.
Community and supportF# has an active and supportive community, with resources and forums available for developers to seek help and share knowledge.Fortran has a smaller community compared to other languages, but there are still resources and forums available for support.
Learning curveF# has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming concepts.Fortran has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in scientific or engineering programming.
