This free online converter lets you convert code from Fortran to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Fortran | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Imperative, uses fixed or free-form syntax, verbose and traditional, designed for mathematical and scientific computation. | Modern, concise, inspired by ML-family languages, uses significant whitespace and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented programming in later versions. | Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and strong type safety. |
| Typing | Static, strong typing with explicit type declarations required. | Static, strong, and inferred typing with a focus on type safety. |
| Performance | Highly optimized for numerical and scientific computing, often close to C in performance. | Good performance for functional code, compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, not focused on numerical computing. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for scientific and engineering libraries, limited for general-purpose programming. | Growing ecosystem, leverages Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native libraries compared to older languages. |
| Community and support | Established, mature community, strong in scientific and engineering domains. | Small but active and growing community, mostly early adopters and functional programming enthusiasts. |
| Learning curve | Steep for modern programming practices, easier for those with scientific backgrounds. | Moderate, easier for those familiar with functional programming, but new concepts for imperative programmers. |
