Fortran is one of the oldest programming languages; it was specifically designed for scientific and engineering applications back in the 1950s. Despite being a legacy language, Fortran is still ...

Currently released GNU compilers (e.g. GNU Fortran (Homebrew GCC 11.2.0_3) 11.2.0) do not support nested functions on Apple Silicon. This will change someday but it isn't clear when (see here). If ...

The goal of this code is to provide Fortran HPC codes with a simple way to use Pytorch deep learning framework. We want Fortran developers to take advantage of rich and optimized Torch ecosystem from ...

Staying at the cutting edge is a requirement for every programmer and developer nowadays. Learning the latest languages and keeping up to date on the most popular ones will give any developer a ...

Although the first compiler for general-purpose, imperative programming language would not be delivered for three more years, September 20, 1954 marked the first run of a Fortran (Formula Translating) ...

FORTRAN started out as IBM's' Mathematical Formula Translating System. It was designed by a team led by John Backus and targeted computationally intensive applications from physics to weather ...

There’s an old saying: “I don’t know what programming language scientists and engineers will use in the 22nd century, but I know it will be called FORTRAN.” FORTRAN was among the first real ...

Old Glories: Fortran and Cobol are still among the world's most popular programming languages despite being almost 70 years old. They're certainly overachieving, but for entirely different reasons, ...

1956: Fortran, the first modern computer language, is shared with the coding community for the first time. Three years in the making, it would be refined in work that continues to this day. While this ...
