too little, too late! I am super happy with React+Js nowadays..

Interesting to see how much slower is JS when compared to Fortran for matrix operations, no idea how to compare React to Fortran.

  to be honest, this was just a very stupid joke. i guess there is no good reason to compare the two.

    Jokes are difficult to pull off well on HN. Worst downvotes I ever get are when I'm joking.

      The trick is to lay it on so heavily that there is no joke anymore.

        Sadly, yes.

  React is a responsive framework, not a compute lib. It's a joke. Getting offtopic here from FORTRAN, but there have been several attempts at numeric libraries in javascript (math.js, numjs), they are either lightweight, or unmaintained and in a sorry state, or require async execution that expect remote hardware (Googles tensor libs) which makes them a bit difficult to use in a general setting. Hopefully WebASM will result in a native numpy-like library for JS because numpy is a very well-thought-out library and interface, it's really addictive.

    I have written interfaces in Fortran 77 back in the 80's

    It’s not fast but I’ve found “algebrite” to be a good CAS for JavaScript that I can break out anytime I need dot products.

Im quite happy with my new apartment and also will not be needing fortran

  I just moved to the apartment upstairs because it has a familiar floor-plan, is renovated, and has a slightly better view.

Ok cool but is React+Js really a competitor to Fortran…?
- lkuty 5y ago
  Both are Turing complete, so it is the case
  - cheeze 5y ago
    I prefer Excel to both, which is also Turing complete.

      What about CSS?

        Better go with TeX if you're going into the Turing complete typesetting language niche, a Knuth product has more street cred.

    I don't know why people still bother using Fortran, Magic the Gathering obsoleted it decades ago.
