From: Colin Watters on 29 Jun 2010 17:15 Fortran is the worst programming language, apart from all the others for which compilers have been written from time to time. -- Qolin Email: my qname at domain dot com Domain: qomputing "Gib Bogle" <g.bogle(a)auckland.no.spam.ac.nz> wrote in message news:i0c529$5rh$1(a)speranza.aioe.org... > Jerry DeLisle wrote: > >> In spite of all the arguments, Fortran (as it continues to evolve) is at >> a very minimum, damn good! > > I don't like Fortran > oh no > I love it!

If the old Prime computers had a C compiler, it was probably written in Fortran. The whole operating system was written in a heavily extended fortran 66 until the 198? release which was rewritten in PL/1. Lynn
