Fortran. I hated that during my masters program. Was an engineer who started with a slide rule in the late 50’s. Then management want me to learn punched tape to program milling machines in the mid 60’s. G code? No thanks. Then onto VAX. Etc.
Not sure why I was tasked with that crap, as I was never good at programming anything. But I got the job done anyway.
I lucked out and ran into all kinds of mini and mainframes over the years..
From paper bootstrap loaders to togkle switch minis.. To today’s wristwatch which has more power than an old HP flight computer on a shuttle.
I hated slide rules.. But I loved the bomb . ;-)
LOL! I watched the line around the corner into the punchcard room for a while, and decided programming wasn't for me.
Later, they dispensed with that & brought in the first IBM PCs. I gave it the green light then.
We also had a VAX to play with - can't understand why it wasn't more heavily used. Got my first taste of Unix there.
