Years ago at university I wrote a small 2D circuit board drawing system in Fortran running on some old IBM mainframe computer. Only the first 6 characters of function names mattered so I ended up using the first 2 characters as the module/namespace and carefully encoded the next 4 characters as needed. I had never programmed in Fortran before but it was easy to learn. Fun times. The company I work for is still using old Fortran code to simulate how long it takes for trains with a certain load to get from A to B given a sequence of gradients. I bet small bits of Fortran still lives inside many systems written in C/C++. |
