Got FORTRAN?

Anyone else do lot of programming in Fortran? Just curious...

Yes, I do all my programming in fortran 77.

I used to get paid to write fortran 77 - thankfully, I've forgotten most of it, but I'm sure I could snap back into it by looking at some code.

fortran's not a bad language, I acutally rather like some of it. Only problem is it's just not so common anymore outside of the number-crunching market.

I like it too, although I am one of those number crunching types.

I'm one of the computationnal physics types. Yorick is another programming language targeted at the number-crunching market:

I've used it in an university course. It has some nice features but I don't use it anymore.

If you're doing more statistical work, R is rather nice too...

And, of course, there's always matlab.
