      @broniebrown Fortran is like a German Luger. old, reliable, old fashioned, and people look at you kinda funny for trying to bring one to the table.

        @critialcloudkicker Fortran is for weird people and for those who are way behind. Fortran uses column major matrices, whereas other languages use row major order. Fortran is only used in archaic system environments and surprisingly in high performance computing.

          @broniebrown If it us used in high performance computing ( whereas you may arguably argue that it could be replaced ( and may work better with ) a "new" age programming language ), if it is still used I see the pro's to learning that language. Hence where we come to the "Luger to the table" analogy. arguably argue ? is that correct english ?
