Fortran (formerly FORTRAN) is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. It was developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications and has since become a dominant language in scientific computing. Fortran is known for its speed and is used in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, geophysics, computational physics, crystallography, and computational chemistry. It has evolved over the years, adding support for structured programming, array programming, modular programming, object-oriented programming, concurrent programming, and native parallel computing capabilities. |

|||
FreeBASIC is a high-level programming language that supports procedural, object-oriented and metaprogramming paradigms, with a syntax compatible with Microsoft QuickBASIC but expanding its capabilities. |
|||
FreeBASIC is a free/open source (GPL) BASIC compiler for Microsoft Windows, DOS, and Linux. |
|||
It is also a self-hosted compiler that uses the GNU binutils programming tools as a backend and can produce console executables, graphics/GUIs, dynamic and static libraries. FreeBASIC fully supports the use of C libraries and partially supports C++ libraries. |
