Type systems
[edit]This is a comparison of the features of the type systems and type checking of multiple programming languages.
Brief definitions
- A nominal type system means that the language decides whether types are compatible and/or equivalent based on explicit declarations and names.
- A structural type system means that the language decides whether types are compatible and/or equivalent based on the definition and characteristics of the types.
- Type checking determines whether and when types are verified. Static checking means that type errors are reported based on a program's text (source code). Dynamic checking means that type errors are reported based on a program's dynamic (run-time) behavior.

Notes
[edit]- ^ Unsafe operations are well isolated by a "Unchecked_" prefix.
- ^ with optional dynamic type casting (see dynamic cast)
- ^ a b c d e f It is almost safe, unsafe features are not commonly used.
- ^ with optional dynamic type (see dynamic member lookup)
- ^ Optionally, typing can be explicitly implied by the first letter of the identifier (known as implicit typing within the Fortran community).
- ^ dynamic checking of type extensions i.e. inherited types
- ^ explicit for static types
- ^ optional for formal and virtual procedures
