Differences

The following are some key differences between Perl and Fortran.

Characteristic	Perl	Fortran
Syntax	Perl has a flexible syntax that allows for a lot of shortcuts and shorthand notation. It is often described as a 'write-only' language due to its dense and sometimes cryptic syntax.	Fortran has a more rigid syntax that is designed to be easy to read and understand. It is a more verbose language than Perl, but this can make it easier to maintain and debug code.
Paradigm	Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.	Fortran is primarily a procedural language, although it does support some object-oriented programming concepts.
Typing	Perl is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.	Fortran is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile time.
Performance	Perl is generally slower than Fortran due to its interpreted nature and dynamic typing.	Fortran is a compiled language that is optimized for numerical calculations, making it faster than Perl in many cases.
Libraries and frameworks	Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for a wide range of tasks, including web development, data analysis, and system administration.	Fortran has a smaller selection of libraries and frameworks available, but they are generally focused on scientific and engineering applications.
Community and support	Perl has a large and active community of developers who contribute to the language and its ecosystem of libraries and tools.	Fortran has a smaller community than Perl, but it is still active and focused on scientific and engineering applications.
Learning curve	Perl has a steep learning curve due to its dense syntax and flexible nature, but it can be a powerful tool for experienced developers.	Fortran has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers with a background in scientific or engineering applications.
