FORTRAN I HATE YOU cuz i have to learn you :D

[61rmd1]

sometime i still use F77 (not oly it, of course); fortran was'nt so elastic, but only C was able to be considered at the same level (about 40 years later, a geological time for computer tecnology)

I love it how half the comments are based on the meme then all the old guys coming to remnicise the language arel ike "WTF are they talking about?!"

[jmm1233]

i like the name of the langague so imposing and mighty , unlike COBOL which sounds like something you wash a dog with , lol

i cant add the download-link here in the commentary, but just googel after "FORTRAN 25th anniversary film, 1982, 12.5 minutes" ...then you will find the official download on the link "Video - Software Preservation Group" and on that page just click on the title I've mentioned above....then you can watch the complete film...

[Firebrad]

Hahaha, why is that guy on the boat? This video just jumps from person to person whenever their name is mentioned. it doesnt say much about fortran.

[hamasalkeida]

Thankyou for this Video. A very beautiful film. Maybe reveal some clue to it's name, physical origin, or location. ( 16mm )In a college library perhaps...?

[JordanG247]

it is funny how they continue into a new clip with the a good verbal flow, but have the people in some really different and somewhat random places, lol.

[MrModulator]

Yeah, where's part 2? Funny thing, the way this documentary is made with quick clips from wildly different surroundings with people commenting on the subject actually reminds me of some Monthy Python stuff. Not that it's not serious...

[DuckCasey]

Excellent! But where's part 2?
