I gotta laugh - for my Master's thesis a few years back (OK, more than a few) I had to combine an old optimization code I had written in Fortran with an new analysis code written in C++. It was easier for me to convert the C++ to Fortran than vice versa. I went to Barnes and Noble to get a Fortran book (mine was long since gone), and they looked at me like I was from another planet. Maybe there's a monk scribing them somewhere...

Does anyone remember APL? Even had it's own keyboard with special programming characters.

Ah, I miss punch cards.


OK, the old man will shut up now and go back to running his TRS-80.
