Key differences between Swift and Fortran
Characteristic | Swift | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Swift has a modern and concise syntax that is similar to other modern programming languages. | Fortran has a more traditional and verbose syntax that is specific to scientific and engineering applications. |
Paradigm | Swift supports multiple paradigms including object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming. | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language with limited support for object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Swift is a statically-typed language with type inference, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | Fortran is also a statically-typed language, but it requires explicit type declarations for variables. |
Performance | Swift is known for its high performance and efficiency, especially when it comes to mobile app development. | Fortran is designed for numerical and scientific computing, and it is highly optimized for performance in these domains. |
Libraries and frameworks | Swift has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, especially for iOS and macOS development. | Fortran has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to languages like Swift, but it has strong support for numerical and scientific computing. |
Community and support | Swift has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support from Apple. | Fortran has a smaller community compared to more popular languages, but it still has dedicated users and resources available. |
Learning curve | Swift has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with other modern programming languages. | Fortran has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in scientific or engineering applications. |
