Tänään olen lukenut Otto Mannista ja oppinut laskemaan keskiarvon nykyaikaisella #Fortran'illa (tai jos tarkkoja ollaan, oppinut lukemaan sillä vakiosyötevirtaa niin, että ohjelma osaa siivosti lopettaa lukemisensa tiedoston loppuun). #runot #OttoManninen #ohjelmointi #miehenelämää #kotijuttuja
So now one of the reasons for GNU #FORTRAN is gone:
Keep hearing whispering voices "GNU COBOL, GNU COBOL"
@mattgemmell Surely you mean 64x16.
Yes, that is Fortran. On the Radio Shack TRS-80. My first programming job.
Wow, #fortran has moved a long way since I last used it! That it now has a package manager is brilliant!
Now to find a project using Fortran, so I get to play with it again
I'm an HPC user of CPU Fortran compilers, and my primary/preferred compiler is__________"

Was für eine Freude. Mal wieder alten #fortran Code debuggen.
Does anyone know a specific version of fortran or algol that does not have "for" as a reserved word, so it can be used as a variable or something, I need it for an exam. #programming #fortran #algol
First real brush with Fortran in the wild since hundreds of years ago as a student converting code from "Numerical Recipes in Fortran" books into C.
On a Mac I needed to install gfortran-12.2-universal.pkg from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/ to let me install the nlme package from source.
I would be a greybeard #UNIX guy if I could grow a non-scraggley beard, and it's unfair to the #DOGE teens to claim that the IRS and Social Security rely on ancient #COBOL code that only a few people alive actually understand. They also rely on ancient #FORTRAN code and even I never studied that at Computer Camp.
Intel Developer Tools v2025.1 is here with new OpenMP 6.0 features!
The Intel® Fortran Compiler enhances #OpenMP 6.0 support with two powerful additions: WORKDISTRIBUTE for efficient thread-level work distribution, and INTERCHANGE to reorder loop nests for improved parallelism and optimization.
A big win for HPC and embedded devs!

A cool new feature is a sonification module with sonify_from_array() and sonify_from_file() subroutines, to transform your data into a WAV file. A sonify command can also be installed in the system.
