@masek though it's well known in my field (the link is to colleagues in Munich
)@vicgrinberg I didn't know if it is well known today. My university time was in the 1980s
and times are a chaning... -
@vicgrinberg A determined physicist can code Fortran in any language...
As a consultant programmer from the '90, all my programs, no matter the language, are Perl programs.

@echopapa @vicgrinberg I think the amount of work put into decently optimising heavy number crunching in Fortran has been very significant. That is second order stuff that doesn't arrive 'out the box'

@vicgrinberg Fortran 90! Using that new fangled stuff. Fortran 77 on punch cards was the peak!
Ok, I only ever did omega on punch cards in college, just because. I may be old, but I’m not that old

With files names like something_inscrutable_$DATE.f, no doubt.

@thomastc yeah, we are a big bunch of physicists who are also mostly not native speakers

@astro_jcm feel ya, mine are in a language (s-lang) that pretty much nobody knows and uses

@echopapa @vicgrinberg There are quite a few improvements in Fortran 2003 over F90/95, too.
@dmbaturin @echopapa @vicgrinberg
Brings back memories... I wrote a textbook (in Finnish) on Fortran 90 with colleagues, and the fourth edition included Fortran 2003 features. Those were interesting times.

@vicgrinberg
I still recommend Fortran at work for people who want to write numerical code.It's a lousy general purpose language but Fortran 90 and later are really good and really pleasant to use for numerical stuff.
