things have advanced a little since then - speaking as someone that really liked f77 :-) but even way back when i think there were parallel options, if your hardware could support them.
- jeanlucas 3y agoMakes sense, somehow I assumed things stayed the same. Turns out I only know fortran from the memes about it.
- kergonath 3y agoThe important thing is that old programs and libraries keep working. Some features were removed from the standard, and modern compilers are much better at detecting errors (and are much stricter than they used to be by default), but all of them have a switch to make them work with random codes from the 1980s. There is an awful lot of new features on top of that (things like first-class multidimensional arrays language-level parallelism, object orientation, modules, etc), but old software keeps working.
