And so we come full circle, 50 years of technological advancement have
allowed us to run FORTRAN! Again. I still can't decide whether to cheer
or groan ;)

However, impressive, as all of RubyInline. Which reminds me, I should
toy with it again to see if I can make it play along with directory
names with spaces like I meant to two years ago. (Or did this happen to
be fixed since?)

I haven't written any Fortran since 1990. I suppose it *would* come back
to me. 50 years, eh? Well ... I wrote my first Fortran (II) programs
almost that long ago. At least the machines *were* solid-state. :)

So you *can* write Fortran programs in any language!
