Ah, Fortran, how I miss you. Unfortunately it seems like the last commit to this project is from three years ago.

I think you meant to say 1. Zero open issues :o 2. Code is stable - no recent fixes :P 3. Not even the mighty spectre and meltdown demanded a fix

PS: I am sure this is meant as a parody to make fun of other frameworks.

Let’s all get good at Fortran in 3 Months get those cushy six figure salary jobs those Fortran devs make building web apps, sounds easy enough.

The more I look at Fortran, the more I appreciate its beauty.

I think some of its infamy is unjustified.

Fortran 77 has a lot of luxuries compared to FORTRAN IV, I have to say.

Because there's nothing harder to stop than an idea who's time has come to pass.

I just hoped it was a website for formula translations
