i learned FORTRAN in an accelerated tech program in 1996-ish in high school.
i used fortran recently to see how "slow" python is, i did matrix multiplies by hand in .c, and .py. Now i didn't write the fortran, the AI did, but i remember enough that i verified what it did was sane, also the other two i wrote did agree with results.
fortran 1 unit of time
C 1.7 unit of time
python 2.2 unit of time
for the same matmuls.
anyhow, 1996-ish. crazy.
