This kid is gonna get rich if they stick to it
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
That’s how you talk?
you shout in COBOL ;-)
shout shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without: =±*/
10 print "Hell here" 20 goto 10
Imagine a cabal of COBOL programmers called Cobol or Co Ball
Fuck it co., we ball.
But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.
Your dentist’s name is Crentist?
Maybe that’s why he became a dentist.
“It’s a Fortran system; I know this!”
Reminds me of that firefighter named Les Mcburney.
I’ve actually met him. Pretty chill guy, but is completely confused by his Internet fame.
And his sister, the famous arsonist Anita Mcburney.
“I was born for this!”
Nominative determinism.
I was born INTO THIS
The heart is blackened.
He can also be the hacker known as Fortran.
fucking golf clap

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.

And a lot of science libraries.
Source: married to a physicist.
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.
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.
Insane in the mainframe
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’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.
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
Ada is good name for girl child
What about girl adult or woman child
Ada is a feminine name. The Ada language is named after Ada Lovelace.
Was going to give my daughter the middle name Ada until my best friend for 20+ years pointed out Jenny Ate A Dick or if she was heavier food items Jenny is not my daughter’s name but used for an example.
Tbh I still wanted to use it but my wife said no. I also lost the battle for Grace, and Marie. I gave up and let her pick the middle name in the delivery room all hopped up on hormones. I’m pretty sure she regrets the choice since we have never mentioned her middle name in 6 months.
I knew a guy who worked with stuff at Nasa programmed in Ada and who named his daughter Ada :)
Famous as AMOS
Assigned System/370 Operator At Birth
I had a friend in Argentina whose father was a Fortran programmer and teach him it since he was a kid. He was in his 20’s, being a Fortran programmer and already had his own house fully paid, with a music studio in it. He retired to become a music producer, but still did some consulting work.
Good luck little Fortran, hope you can learn and enjoy your work.
So are you saying Fortran Programming is a lucrative skill?
Looking up, in the US its have an average salary of 100k at year. Not sure how that compares with other programming languages. He worked for an oil company, so I guess he had an above average salary for that.
parents are Mr and Mrs C. and C. Plusplus
Neither of them are very sharp
and we dont talk about their half cousin Objective
This kid’s full name is Fortran Sucksdontlearnit Johnson. His parents actually hated Fortran. Imagine the disappointment they’re about to experience.
