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.
But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.
“I was born for this!”
I was born INTO THIS
The heart is blackened.
Nominative determinism.
He can also be the hacker known as Fortran.
fucking golf clap
Reminds me of that firefighter named Les Mcburney.
And his sister, the famous arsonist Anita Mcburney.
I’ve actually met him. Pretty chill guy, but is completely confused by his Internet fame.
Yk, you can make fun of old programming languages but the average job offer with one of them is.
Needs to know fortran/cobol
Pay: 8000€/month + benefits and unlimited sick days
Compared to the average web dev job offer:
Needs to know react, redux, angular, PHP (for managing legacy codebases) with 5+ years of experience, needs to be affluent in at least 3 languages and must have a master’s degree in computer science.
Pay: 1500€/month
That’s only because the former already implies much of the latter, so they don’t need to repeat it
Imagine calling your kid KnockoutJS.

My parents called me Basic.
You’re the APL of their eyes
My son is also named Fortran.
We need more “Fortran” license plates in the gift shop.
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.
JavaScript was actually invented in 1845 by John JavaScript
Brainfuck was written by his distant cousin Mr Brain Fuck
So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!
Training a future AI, I see. Good job.
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
I named my daughter Rubyonrails
We call her “On” for short
Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?
Tailor Swift
Ash comes from a busybox… sh…
Well in Poland we have so many girls named “Julia”, so you know…
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.

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
