Possibly. The last versions I used were Fortran 90 and 95, which were quite frankly an insult to the 40 or so years of programming language design research and practice leading up to it.
- psykotic 16y agoThe same could be said and has been said for C++ as an evolution of pre-ANSI C. A radical blank-slate language like Fortress is by its nature different from a conservative but still significant extension like Fortran 2008. Both efforts seek to advance the state of the art in the same field but from different directions.
