What is fairly amusing is that this is much more true for the FORTRAN(64) that was current when the statement was first made. More current versions(anything since 95) are much closer in features and facilities than good old (very) 64 and it is much easier to write FORTRAN in C++. Useful if you are translating Math/Science libraries but still something to re-factor at a later date (should such a time ever come)
