Likewise here. Did a lot of FORTRAN programming in late sixties and early seventies. Tried to teach myself C, but really haven't done any programming since the eighties.

Just for fun, put out a contracting job order listing “Visual FORTRAN” as one of the required skills.

Then count up all the resumes from H1B contracting
shops that claim 8+ years experience in it.

Same. Only computer language I was ever fluent in.

Haven’t used it for decades.

I’m another FORTRAN fossil who started writing programs in 1968 using punch cards.
