Do you mean Python like easy syntax or do you mean Python like extensive std library?
Never used Fortran but really curious to understand whether Fortran has good standard library support to try my hand at it. I've been doing Go and Python mostly and willing to learn one more language now and I'm trying to decide if it should be Fortran!
Nonetheless, Fortran has built-in support for N-dimensional arrays, with vectorised operations (including custom functions), so the experience is pretty similar to Numpy.
From the numpy website:
NumPy brings the computational power of languages like C and Fortran to Python, a language much easier to learn and use.There are libraries that may not be "standard" (that is, included in the standard) but are standardly available on Fortran. You need a matrix solver that will efficiently handle large, sparse matrices of complex variables, that will not degrade when faced with a stiff problem? Fortran has one of those. You can get it on pretty much any Fortran installation. It's solid, stable, and there's decades of experience with using it.
So, from that perspective, Fortran has a huge library. For numeric algorithms, virtually anything you want, it has.
Can you write a parser in it? Sure, but it's going to be painful dealing with strings. Can you write a web server? Yes, but you'd have to link to a C library that exposes the kernel TCP/IP interface to Fortran. And so, on.
So, essentially it would be like using C without a libc: it's doable, but it doesn't really make sense.
Although I would say the "easy syntax" mostly applies to numerical code only, i.e. numpy code and the same computations in fortran would look very similar since fortran has similar syntax for vector-based computations, something that e.g. C does not have at all.
