Key differences between Zig and Fortran

CharacteristicZigFortran
SyntaxModern, C-like, minimalistic, and designed for clarity and explicitness.Older, more verbose, with syntax evolving from fixed-format (Fortran 77) to more modern free-form (Fortran 90+).
ParadigmImperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming.Primarily procedural, with support for structured and, in newer versions, some object-oriented programming.
TypingStatically typed, strong type system with explicit type declarations.Statically typed, with implicit typing by default (can be made explicit), and type safety varies by version.
PerformanceHigh performance, close to C, with manual memory management and low-level control.Traditionally excellent performance, especially for numerical and scientific computing, with highly optimized compilers.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem, but can interoperate with C libraries easily.Rich set of libraries for scientific and numerical computing, but fewer modern frameworks.
Community and supportGrowing but still small and young community, active development.Established, mature community, especially in scientific and engineering domains.
Learning curveModerate; modern syntax but requires understanding of low-level concepts.Varies; older syntax can be challenging, but modern Fortran is more approachable for those with scientific backgrounds.
