C is usually called the leader in judging the performance of programming languages. C is often used as a reference for new programming languages that are slower than C.
I won't bother with Fortran if it's faster than C/C++.
With the help of numerical, I can convert my Matlab program into C/C++.
The compiled code in R is made up of two main languages. I have a soft spot in my heart for the free-form, free-form, actually readable versions of Fortran from F90 and on, but I am not sure why.
I have found that, more often than not, the packages I maintain on CRAN will perform better than the ones I don't. This was an opportunity to compare the performance of two different programs. Open MP can't be used in the same package for multiple languages.
The forcing violates R norms and relies on default linker flags being the same across languages. The Fortran mechanics for Open MP are changing. To test the languages, I wrote two small packages using the C/ Fortran interface. I broke the rules by showing some pure C calls in the Fortran package.
This is not good practice for this post and should be avoided.
What are the advantages of Fortran programming language?
My experience with Fortran is that it is easy to learn, clean, and well suited to a non-programmer whose main concern is doing highly optimal numerical computations. It takes a lot of instrinsic understanding to accomplish those level of optimizations.
When it comes to matrix calculations, out of the box a Fortran compiler will usually perform better than a c++ compiler. I would also tell you that Fortran has specific words that the programmer can use to squeeze more performance out of a numerical routine.
This is the same thing as C++, but not as much as Fortran does. Fortran is not an operating system or architecture specific. The Fortran code you write on one operating system or architecture should be easy to port to another where there is a Fortran compiler.
IBM 709, 650, 1620, and 7090 computers. By 1963, over 40 FORTRAN compilers existed, thanks to the increasing popularity of FORTRAN. FORTRAN is considered to be the first widely used cross- platform programming language.
Each compiler supported its own variant of Fortran. Some were different from the mainstream. Open MP is a cross- platform extension. Coarray Fortran is intended to support parallel programming.
The years have seen the development of Fortran. Prior to object-oriented features such as type extension and inheritance, it was a strictly procedural programming language. Below is a list of the basics of Fortran Programming. There is a program structure.

Is Matlab faster than Fortran?
There is a way to make it really fast, which is easy to learn, even though it is slower than C++/ Fortran compiled code. There is a single line of code that can be used to manipulate data.
Matlab 5 was definitely not fast. The mlib and HP are clearly faster than the others.
If you can't get it to run at the same speed as MATLAB. It seems to me that some fortran Compiler Optimizations are required.
