Key differences between Fortran and Nim

CharacteristicFortranNim
SyntaxOlder, verbose, and rigid syntax, especially in legacy versions; modern Fortran is more readable but still less expressive than many newer languages.Modern, Python-like, clean, and highly readable syntax with significant whitespace and flexible constructs.
ParadigmPrimarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented and parallel programming in modern versions.Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and metaprogramming.
TypingStatically typed with explicit type declarations; strong typing but less flexible type system.Statically typed with type inference; strong and expressive type system.
PerformanceRenowned for high performance in numerical and scientific computing; highly optimized compilers.Very high performance, often comparable to C/C++, but generally not as optimized for scientific computing as Fortran.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem for scientific, engineering, and numerical libraries; limited general-purpose libraries.Growing standard library and third-party ecosystem; less mature than Fortran for scientific computing but broader for general-purpose programming.
Community and supportLong-established, specialized community focused on scientific and engineering domains; less active in general programming.Smaller but active and growing community; more general-purpose focus and modern online presence.
Learning curveSteep for beginners, especially with legacy code; easier for those with scientific backgrounds.Gentle learning curve due to modern syntax and clear documentation; accessible to beginners and experienced programmers alike.
