Key differences between Fortran and Gleam

CharacteristicFortranGleam
SyntaxImperative, 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.
ParadigmPrimarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented programming in later versions.Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and strong type safety.
TypingStatic, strong typing with explicit type declarations required.Static, strong, and inferred typing with a focus on type safety.
PerformanceHighly 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 frameworksRich 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 supportEstablished, mature community, strong in scientific and engineering domains.Small but active and growing community, mostly early adopters and functional programming enthusiasts.
Learning curveSteep for modern programming practices, easier for those with scientific backgrounds.Moderate, easier for those familiar with functional programming, but new concepts for imperative programmers.
