the last generation to write FORTRAN

runs to look out window

My God is the sun turning into a red giant?!

Oh no, whew, that's a relief! Guess the FORTRAN programmers will be relevant for a little longer too then.

(As a .NET dev, I wish some languages (or versions of languages) would die but i really think once code has been written it never goes away!)
