Kill Fortran! LOL
I did not know that about Fortran.. It’s so old school..
Dear Obama..Upgrade our Scientists!

Most languages are only as good as the programmer. You can make Fortran as bullet proof as any other computer language if you are a programmer who knows what he/she is doing.

Granted, in Fortran, it may take much more time to get from A to Z, but if you have buggy Fortran code, that’s because you have a bad programmer.

There is no reason that programs being used for live data modeling should be shot full of holes. You can’t blame the language. You can blame the organization and the programmers and the internal audits and reviews.

That’s the bottom line.
