I don't know if that should embarrass me or send me to the depths of depression for being older than dirt. lol

Many (most) of graphics card firmware drivers had Fortran transformation logic in their chips. Maybe some. Still do.

I did my first real programming in C. That’s freaking old in itself, Kernighan and Ritchie wrote the book in 1978.
