FORTRAN will be around forever... at least in the scientific community nothing fancy and not pretty, but in many cases, a few lines worth can still do whats needed to be done
We need a little FORTRAN.
And a few GOTOs.
What?
No respect for ALGOL?
What about keypunch operators?
Hahah! That’s hardcore!
And a few GOTOs.
GOTO’s are for weenies. I’m all about the “alter goto”!
I had to convert some DYL260 programs to COBOL once. Dyl280 is easy, but the only way I was able to convert the DYL260 programs was to decipher parts of them that I could and complete the task by running the programs against small input data sets and compare the output. It actually worked pretty well.
