Key differences between Grain and Fortran

CharacteristicGrainFortran
SyntaxModern, JavaScript/TypeScript-like, functional syntax with pattern matching and type inference.Older, imperative, verbose syntax with fixed or free-form source, designed for mathematical formulas.
ParadigmFunctional-first, supports functional and some imperative programming.Imperative and procedural, with some support for object-oriented programming in later versions.
TypingStatically typed with type inference and strong type safety.Statically typed, but with less type inference and weaker type safety compared to modern languages.
PerformanceRuns on WebAssembly, good performance for web applications but not as optimized as native code.Highly optimized for numerical and scientific computing, often close to C/C++ in performance.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem, mainly focused on WebAssembly and web development.Rich set of libraries for scientific, engineering, and numerical computing, but fewer modern frameworks.
Community and supportSmall, emerging community with limited resources and support.Large, established community in scientific and engineering fields, with decades of support and resources.
Learning curveEasier for those familiar with modern functional languages; documentation is limited.Steep for beginners due to older syntax and paradigms, but well-documented for scientific use cases.
