FORTRAN is far from dead in applications processing massive arrays (just
about any finite element program). For instance, I'd venture that most
weather prediction codes are in FORTRAN (MM5, which is a widely used
mesoscale modeling code, is in FORTRAN, as is WRF), as are a lot of
structural analysis (e.g. NASTRAN is in FORTRAN), and virtually ALL
electromagnetics codes.

These days, I choose to program, almost exclusively, in assembly and
C/C+/C++ (all C looks the same to someone writing in it.) *If someone

well, that just blew any credibility you had with me. c+ is a joke,
c# is real, and no, all flavors of c don't look the same! far from
it, someone who knows c would be lost doing c++ or c#.

and yes, there is a huge fortran codebase out there in scientific and
engineering circles. many of the largest modeling packages use
fortran for at least the backend, even if the frontend has been
rewritten in a more gui friendly language.

Yeah, you are just another idiot shooting off his mouth about what he
knows nothing about. Gee, isn't that unique? ROFLOL

Sounds more like a case of pot-kettle-black.

Whether you like it or not, and whether you can accept the fact or not,
what he says is true.

It says a lot about ability and self esteem when someone has an email
address like his and says the things he does. My guess is that I have
made a lot more money programming than he ever will. And in a lot more
languages. And a lot fewer bugs.

amen on that... lets see, 42 years programming now, 26 getting paid
just for that, languages??? pdp8 assy, focal, fortran(several
versions), basic(several variants), pascal, x86 assy, vb, ada, c, c++,
c#, vb.net, asp.net, various jcl variations, ibm360 assy, 68xxx assy,
objective c, pl-1, apl, java, javascript, vrml, html, xaml, xml,
matlab, mathcad, and probably a few others i have forgotten.

PDP8 assy? 12 bit machine wasn't it? (didn't look it up, not cheating)

I rebuilt one after someone plugged the TTY card into the bus. You may
remember that none of the cards were keyed. Loop current voltage hits
the bus, oops. Lots of RTL and DTL to replace.

Favorite assy was 6809. Did a lot on the Ericsson MD110 while writing
patches.
