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!

/me hides Edward’s Zimmer frame, steals apples from his garden, and
