Out of curiosity, care to name 5 programs written in Fortran that meaningfully advanced human civilization? I've heard that in the old days, scientific community loved Fortran because they could extort the government for more money for a bigger computer, so I guess that's one thing it's good for?
Scientists and engineers still rely on Fortran software for doing their calculations.
Fortran software from decades ago? How does that refute my point of Fortran being used by a few unfortunate bastards maintaining legacy bullshite? Direct interaction of scientists and programming languages probably ends on something like Python, if we are being generous.
LAPACK is written in Fortran and is a dependency of many science and engineering tools.
One library is the best you could manage? Really? Well, what did it meaningfully advance? I believe if it was really meaningful, it is also widespread and significant to many people worldwide, right?
