But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.
“I was born for this!”
Nominative determinism.
I was born INTO THIS
The heart is blackened.
Reminds me of that firefighter named Les Mcburney.
And his sister, the famous arsonist Anita Mcburney.
I’ve actually met him. Pretty chill guy, but is completely confused by his Internet fame.
“It’s a Fortran system; I know this!”
He can also be the hacker known as Fortran.
fucking golf clap
Your dentist’s name is Crentist?
Maybe that’s why he became a dentist.
JavaScript was actually invented in 1845 by John JavaScript
And many modern reinterpretations of the original canon were written about 60 years later by Jake Weary
Brainfuck was written by his distant cousin Mr Brain Fuck
I understand these references.
And he invented JavaScript in a cave, with a box of scraps
In 10 days and 10 nights
So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!
Training a future AI, I see. Good job.
His name was my name too
I’m naming my kid machine code.
You’ll never allow him to leave the sandbox?
He’ll have to handle the hardware for his parents, they’re treating him firmly
Don’t you guys know about Jacob Ava?
My son is also named Fortran.
We need more “Fortran” license plates in the gift shop.
“We’re out of BORT license plates!”
parents are Mr and Mrs C. and C. Plusplus
Neither of them are very sharp
and we dont talk about their half cousin Objective
I mean, Fortran isn’t even dead. It was updated last year. Weird but it’s still a used language.
And it is still living in weather forecasting models used by many weather institutes.

We use those too! The weather forecasting models are really important for calculating prices in the German Energy market. My company is even paying people extra for learning Fortran to do these tasks. It’s really weird to talk to 20-something y/o people who actively use Fortran.
And a lot of science libraries.

All the best linalg libraries are in FORTRAN.
Pretty sure numpy hooks into them. I don’t know anyone who uses computers for serious work that doesn’t use FORTRAN. It’s the best.
Yep, and Matlab too I think
MATLAB is just scipy for people that wear ties.
Little Fortran walks into the living room.
“Mom, dad. I have something important I need to tell you, but I’m scared you’ll be mad at me”
“We’ll still love you no matter what honey.”
“OK, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I need to come out and say it. Mom and dad, I’m a frontend developer”
“WHAT we will not tolerate that sort of degeneracy in this house young man! Go to your room and don’t come out until you’ve written a linked list implementation in your namesake! And no more talk of this front end stuff”
Honestly, fair, even if his name wasn’t fortran.
I named my daughter Rubyonrails
We call her “On” for short
My first cat was called Rails, but he scaped home to never be see again. The second Ruby, but she died the next day we adopted her. The third one, Rails 2, but we call him Rails because is shorter, he’s 10 yo now.
Little Ruby Rhonda
You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp
Or a stupid wager.
My parents called me Basic.
You’re the APL of their eyes
Ooh that’s a good one
At least it’s not COBOL.
I learnt COBOL (I’m old) it’s a very easy language, you basically talk, for instance to do c=a*b you write:
MULTIPLY A TO B GIVING C
and everything is tabbed, but in a good editor like emacs, it’s done automatically pretty well.
I was looking into learning COBOL some years ago, because i found that verbosity interesting.
And it seemed like there’s not many libs and toolboxes out there, compared to the major languages that has libs for everything, so I couldn’t really use it for small projects.
The issue with COBOL surely isn‘t about the language itself. The real challenge will be to decipher the spaghetti code that was created at a company in the last sixty or so years. And then to dare changing something without breaking the program as a whole.
That’s easy you just use the huge number of test cases to ensure against introducing new bugs.
/S
10 print "Hell here" 20 goto 10That’s how you talk?
you shout in COBOL ;-)
shout shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without: =±*/
Imagine a cabal of COBOL programmers called Cobol or Co Ball
Fuck it co., we ball.
i’m ready for a perl renaissance
As a Perl developer: not going to happen.
I’m sorry.
Eh, it’s a language that rewards deep knowledge. I like that. But it’s not coming back.
Man, I am learning Perl and that comment was discouraging for me :(
There will likely always be a job for someone who has good Perl knowledge. There’s no good reason to start a new project in it, though.
Well in Poland we have so many girls named “Julia”, so you know…
