Don't you know that computer scientists are supposed to hate Fortran?!
I remember back in our "Theory of Programming Languages" or whatever the
class was called, there were 10 rules for having a well-formed
programming language, and Fortran broke about 7 or 8 of the rules!
Besides, even before that class, we had been conditioned to hate Fortran
and make fun of the poor engineering students that had to endure the
class. ;-)
