Key differences between Haskell and Fortran
Characteristic | Haskell | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Haskell has a more expressive and concise syntax compared to Fortran. | Fortran has a more traditional and verbose syntax compared to Haskell. |
Paradigm | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. | Fortran is a procedural programming language with some support for object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Haskell has strong static typing with type inference. | Fortran has static typing with explicit type declarations. |
Performance | Haskell is known for its high-level abstractions and can have comparable performance to Fortran in certain cases. | Fortran is known for its efficiency and is often used for high-performance computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as Fortran. | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for scientific and numerical computing. |
Community and support | Haskell has an active and passionate community, but it may not have as large of a user base as Fortran. | Fortran has a long history and a large user base, with extensive community support. |
Learning curve | Haskell has a steep learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and advanced type system. | Fortran has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with experience in procedural programming. |
