Key differences between Fortran and Janet
| Characteristic | Fortran | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Traditional, verbose, uses fixed or free-form syntax; designed for mathematical and scientific computation. | Minimalist, Lisp-like, uses s-expressions; concise and flexible. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented and parallel programming in modern versions. | Multi-paradigm; supports functional, imperative, and metaprogramming styles. |
| Typing | Statically typed; types must be declared explicitly. | Dynamically typed; types are determined at runtime. |
| Performance | Highly optimized for numerical and scientific computing; often close to C in performance. | Interpreted, generally slower than compiled languages; suitable for scripting and embedding. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for scientific, engineering, and numerical libraries; limited general-purpose libraries. | Smaller ecosystem; core library is extensive for its size, but fewer third-party libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, established community in scientific and engineering fields; extensive legacy code and resources. | Small but active community; growing interest, but limited resources compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easier for those with mathematical background, but older syntax can be challenging. | Steep for those unfamiliar with Lisp-like syntax; easier for those with experience in functional programming. |
