This is such a disingenuous exemple.
You declare all 3 variables on the same line in Fortran but not in C despite it being supported.
In any case, syntaxic sugar is irrelevant.
- m_mueller 3y agoYes I do, because in C you do have to repeat pointer declarations and their modifiers per variable - there is no clean way to separate the variable name declarations from their properties Edit: disagree also on sugar being irrelevant. It’s all about where you guide non engineers towards when they learn it. Domain scientists can be astonishingly productive in Fortran thanks to that - to achieve the same in e.g. C++ takes a lot more effort in training and establishing best practices, libraries etc.
