Agreed, Fortran is an awful language. Trouble is, everything else is either
worse, or much worse.

I only have one simple rule to decide on that: If curly brackets are
not integral part of the language's syntax, then I like it ;)

I like it, but you don't know me very well. ;-)

I can code in Fortran more effortlessly and with fewer errors than in the other
languages I know (e.g. C, Java, Delphi). It isn't the language for every
purpose (none is), but it works well for my purposes.
