Key differences between Fortran and Carbon
| Characteristic | Fortran | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses a straightforward, older syntax focused on mathematical and scientific computation; less modern features. | Designed with modern, C++-like syntax for better readability and maintainability. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented programming in later versions. | Multi-paradigm, supporting procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with explicit type declarations required. | Statically typed, aiming for safer and more expressive type systems similar to modern languages. |
| Performance | Highly optimized for numerical and scientific computing; known for excellent performance in these domains. | Designed for high performance, targeting C++-level efficiency, but real-world benchmarks are limited due to its early stage. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for scientific and engineering libraries, but limited in general-purpose libraries. | Currently limited libraries and frameworks, as the language is still experimental. |
| Community and support | Established, mature community with decades of support, especially in scientific fields. | Small and emerging community, mostly experimental and driven by early adopters. |
| Learning curve | Steep for modern programmers due to older syntax and conventions, but straightforward for scientific tasks. | Intended to be easier for C++ developers, but learning resources are limited due to its newness. |
