I think fortran would be cool if they program it by hand on punch card and the teacher then executes these to check the programs. Like in the very early days of programming where you had to submit these punch chards and wait until they get executed on the mainframe by an operator.
- jmclnx 1y agoFun times, my frist job but I messed it up. I should get back to Fortran but it has changed a lot over the years.
- GJim 1y agoI know you are joking.... ...however discussion on Fortan is inevitably dominated by those who once saw some F77 code years back and associate Fortran with punch cards. Fortran 90 was a big update of the language, and modern Fortran versions and compilers are very good indeed. Not to mention they can be used with the old tried and tested libraries which are bombproof. There is a reason Fotran is still used. It's simple, and you can *really* trust it.
