Key differences between Golang and Fortran
Characteristic | Golang | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Golang has a C-like syntax with curly braces and semicolons. It also has a simpler syntax compared to Fortran. | Fortran has a unique syntax that is different from most programming languages. It uses keywords and statements that are specific to Fortran. |
Paradigm | Golang is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts. |
Typing | Golang is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile time. | Fortran is also a statically typed language, but it has some dynamic typing features. |
Performance | Golang is known for its high performance and efficiency, especially in terms of concurrency and parallelism. | Fortran is also a high-performance language, especially for scientific and engineering applications. |
Libraries and frameworks | Golang has a growing number of libraries and frameworks, but it still has fewer options compared to more established languages like Java or Python. | Fortran has a large number of libraries and frameworks for scientific and engineering applications, but it may have fewer options for other types of applications. |
Community and support | Golang has a growing community and good support from Google, which created the language. | Fortran has a long history and a dedicated community, but it may have fewer resources and support compared to more popular languages. |
Learning curve | Golang has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers with experience in C-like languages. | Fortran has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers who are not familiar with scientific or engineering applications. |
