- Ensorceled 7y agoFortran IV? But yeah, Fortran was the goto tool for mathematics, simulations, etc. for the same reason Python often is today: libraries and existing code. I had to convert a simulated annealing algorithm from Fortran to C in the '90s
- C1sc0cat 7y agoIn the 90's it would should been F77 or later if they where stuck on Fortran IV in the 90's I am not surprised Python was invented. Why did you convert the algorithm from Fortran to c seems a waste of time to me, unless it was a training exercise.
