Key differences between Lua and Fortran

CharacteristicLuaFortran
SyntaxLua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn and use.Fortran has a more complex syntax compared to Lua, but it is still relatively easy to learn and use.
ParadigmLua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.Fortran is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports some features of object-oriented programming.
TypingLua is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.Fortran is statically typed, which means that variable types are determined at compile time.
PerformanceLua is known for its fast performance and low memory usage.Fortran is also known for its fast performance, especially in scientific and engineering applications.
Libraries and frameworksLua has a small but growing collection of libraries and frameworks, particularly in the game development and embedded systems fields.Fortran has a large collection of libraries and frameworks, particularly in the scientific and engineering fields.
Community and supportLua has a small but dedicated community of users and developers, with active forums and mailing lists.Fortran has a large and active community of users and developers, with many resources and support options available.
Learning curveLua has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers with experience in other scripting languages.Fortran has a steeper learning curve, particularly for programmers who are not familiar with scientific or engineering applications.
