You didn't read the article apparently. Fortran (which officially dropped all caps in the standard in 1990) has had new versions every couple years, up to 2013. Each revision of the language brings modern features into it, and old fe

They epoxied the USB ports on my secure machine when I worked at one of the national labs about 12 years ago. One day I came in and the admin had gone through everyone's office the evening before with a bunch of JB weld to fill the US
