Key differences between Fortran and VBA

CharacteristicFortranVBA
SyntaxFixed and free-form syntax, more complex for beginners.Simpler, more readable syntax, similar to natural language.
ParadigmPrimarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented programming.Event-driven and procedural, designed for automation in Microsoft applications.
TypingStrongly typed, requires explicit declaration of variable types.Weakly typed, allows for more flexibility with variable types.
PerformanceHighly optimized for numerical and scientific computing, generally faster.Slower performance, primarily used for automation rather than intensive computations.
Libraries and frameworksRich set of libraries for scientific computing, but less general-purpose libraries.Extensive libraries for Microsoft Office applications, limited outside that ecosystem.
Community and supportSmaller community, but strong in scientific and academic fields.Large community, especially among business and office users.
Learning curveSteeper learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with programming.Gentler learning curve, especially for users familiar with Microsoft Office.
