- helf 4y agoMyth 10 really cracks me up. I'm 99.999% sure Fortran will still be the choice for a lot of things 200 years from now. lol.
- JonChesterfield 4y agoWell, Fortran is a domain specific language. It does floating point arithmetic for engineers from the physical sciences. It does that _really_ well. It does other things less convincingly.
