I have recently started using FORTAN 77, a programming language that was invented 5 years before I was born (in 1978 - don't ask why 77 then!)! It is fast and powerful, though a bit out of date. In general I am enjoying using it though I have a mind set towards C++ at times, when I remember my C++ coding that is! FORTRAN 77 itself was created by a team at IBM lead by John Backus. Fortran stands for FORmula TRANslation and is mainly used by scientists - it would be no good for developing tools for mobile phones for example but is damn powerful when it comes to data manipulation. It has been updated regularly but most people still use good old FORTRAN 77. If anyone wants to learn some FORTRAN 77 take a look at http://www.star.le.ac.uk/%7Ecgp/prof77.html, this is an excellent manual that I stumbled across today. Oh what fun that would be ;-)
