Sometimes one finds oneself agreeing with a HN story that one knows to be factually correct and then not bother to defend its position against naysayers with entrenched views as to do is to buy an argument that one can't win—well, this is one such story.
As a Fortran programmer I know the language is alive, well and still doing what it does best so there's no need for me to defend its position in the programming languages debate—a debate which in recent times has taken on a fervor of nationalism about it.
