Key differences between Carbon and Fortran

CharacteristicCarbonFortran
SyntaxModern, C++-inspired, aims for readability and familiarity for C++ developers.Older, more verbose, column-based in early versions, less familiar to modern programmers.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm (procedural, object-oriented, generic programming).Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented and parallel programming in newer standards.
TypingStatically typed, with strong type safety.Statically typed, but with less strict type safety in older versions.
PerformanceDesigned for high performance, targeting C++-level efficiency.Renowned for high performance, especially in numerical and scientific computing.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, as it is a new language; aims for interoperability with C++ libraries.Rich ecosystem for scientific and engineering applications, but fewer modern libraries.
Community and supportSmall and emerging community, limited support as of now.Established but niche community, strong in scientific and academic circles.
Learning curveModerate for C++ developers, steeper for others due to newness and evolving documentation.Steep for modern programmers due to outdated syntax and paradigms, easier for those in scientific fields.
