- cik 7y agoHell, I fixed something in Turing last week. My eyes are still bleeding.
- pletnes 7y agoYou misspelled the 1960s.
- gowld 7y agoAnd yet almost no one chooses to write new Fortran code for applications. We rely on a few ancient critical widely used libraries like BLAS, accessed from non-Fortran programs.
- greglindahl 7y agoThis is not true, there are niches where Fortran is still dominant for new code. Also for BLAS, the underlying code is usually no longer Fortran.
- greglindahl 7y agoFortran from the 1960s is still supported. Almost all modern Fortran compilers support syntax that was deprecated decades ago.
