Anyone know this situation?
fortran's been in gcc main for a long time..dunno if the maemo port includes it though. And I've got a lot of hours logged in good ol' f77 too...I actually quite like the structured, "deterministic" feel of it. But I was an engineering student, not a computer science major...so it was usually about making a program to find out something we were actually interested in...ie a means to an end. Fortran was beautiful for that (after the punch card era was dead and buried, that is).
