Ha ha yes, though I haven’t written a line of FORTRAN (nor fortran) in decades. It pains me to call CommonLisp obscure or uncommon because I used it heavily for a long time, but that’s the tough truth. It’s funny to think that one major criticism at the time was “its standard library is too massive” and now “its standard library is too small”. I don’t remember anyone even thinking such a thing about Fortran, perhaps because standard library didn’t really mean anything for Fortran and because there have been tons of 3P Fortran libraries in the PD since before I was born.
