Key differences between Fortran and Zig
| Characteristic | Fortran | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Older, more verbose syntax with fixed and free-form styles; less modern features. | Modern, concise, C-like syntax with explicitness and simplicity as design goals. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented and parallel programming. | Procedural and systems programming, with emphasis on manual memory management and safety. |
| Typing | Statically typed, with implicit typing by default (can be made explicit). | Statically and strongly typed, with explicit type declarations and type inference. |
| Performance | Highly optimized for numerical and scientific computing; excellent performance for array operations. | Designed for high performance and low-level control, comparable to C; manual memory management. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for scientific and numerical libraries, but limited for general-purpose programming. | Smaller ecosystem, but can use C libraries easily; fewer high-level frameworks. |
| Community and support | Long-established, but aging community; strong in scientific and engineering fields. | Growing, active community; more support in systems programming and open source circles. |
| Learning curve | Steep for modern features; easier for basic procedural programming, but legacy code can be complex. | Moderate; modern syntax and explicitness help, but manual memory management adds complexity. |
