Riley S. FaelanPondering if I dare to put <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Fortran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fortran</a> into my CV. :blobcatthinking: I can do some Fortran, partly because it keeps coming up in all sorts of <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> contexts, but, even with Ratfor enhancements, I don't consider it a well-designed or pleasant language, and I'm not sure I can see myself working at a place that deals in new Fortran code now that nice, human-friendly languages such as NumPy and APL have been invented. Besides, 21st century Fortran is a really weird language that doesn't even know what it wants to be when it grows up.

oylenshpeegul<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@bbatsov" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bbatsov</a> Exotic languages like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fortran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fortran</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Cobol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cobol</a>.

amen zwa, esq.The original <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LISP</a> had 7 primitives: \(\texttt{cons}\), \(\texttt{car,}\) \(\texttt{cdr}\), \(\texttt{atom}\), \(\texttt{quote}\), \(\texttt{eq}\), and \(\texttt{cond}\). And the original <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smalltalk</a> syntax could fit on a 5×7 card. That meant a novice could learn the syntax in a matter of minutes, and direct all his efforts to learning how properly to wield the power of that Turing-complete language. This was why, in the 1970s and the 1980s, many college freshmen were taught FP in Scheme (a more modern LISP) and many middle school children were taught OO in Smalltalk. These were surely the best "first" <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> languages.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FORTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FORTRAN</a> and <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BASIC</a> were simple, too. FORTRAN, the first high-level language, has been in continuous use since the late 1950s by engineers, who are not keyboard warriors. BASIC was invented in the early 1960s for teaching programming to non-STEM students at Dartmouth. It sired a whole generation of self-taught children in the 1980s.Compare those to C++, Erlang, Python, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, and pretty much every language in popular use today. Most consider Python and JavaScript to be the simplest of modern languages. Yet, they are massive, complex languages. No 10-year-old could teach himself those, nor should he.The original versions of those classic languages cannot be used to solve modern problems. But they should still be taught to youngsters as their first language. Throwing in the kids' faces a modern enterprise language confuses them and discourages them. Consequently, many novices never attain that state of flow, when the joy of programming gushes forth.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Simplicity</a> is a virtue. Self-motivated learning is virtuous.
