But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.
“I was born for this!”
I was born INTO THIS
The heart is blackened.
He can also be the hacker known as Fortran.
Your dentist’s name is Crentist?
Maybe that’s why he became a dentist.
Reminds me of that firefighter named Les Mcburney.
I’ve actually met him. Pretty chill guy, but is completely confused by his Internet fame.
My parents called me Basic.
You’re the APL of their eyes
Ooh that’s a good one
JavaScript was actually invented in 1845 by John JavaScript
Brainfuck was written by his distant cousin Mr Brain Fuck
I understand these references.
So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!
Training a future AI, I see. Good job.
At least it’s not COBOL.
I learnt COBOL (I’m old) it’s a very easy language, you basically talk, for instance to do c=a*b you write:
MULTIPLY A TO B GIVING C
and everything is tabbed, but in a good editor like emacs, it’s done automatically pretty well.
10 print "Hell here" 20 goto 10I was looking into learning COBOL some years ago, because i found that verbosity interesting.
And it seemed like there’s not many libs and toolboxes out there, compared to the major languages that has libs for everything, so I couldn’t really use it for small projects.
Imagine a cabal of COBOL programmers called Cobol or Co Ball

Ash comes from a busybox… sh…
You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp
My son is also named Fortran.
We need more “Fortran” license plates in the gift shop.
“We’re out of BORT license plates!”
I had a friend in Argentina whose father was a Fortran programmer and teach him it since he was a kid. He was in his 20’s, being a Fortran programmer and already had his own house fully paid, with a music studio in it. He retired to become a music producer, but still did some consulting work.
Good luck little Fortran, hope you can learn and enjoy your work.
Don’t you guys know about Jacob Ava?
i’m ready for a perl renaissance
As a Perl developer: not going to happen.
Yk, you can make fun of old programming languages but the average job offer with one of them is.
Needs to know fortran/cobol
Pay: 8000€/month + benefits and unlimited sick days
Compared to the average web dev job offer:
Needs to know react, redux, angular, PHP (for managing legacy codebases) with 5+ years of experience, needs to be affluent in at least 3 languages and must have a master’s degree in computer science.
Pay: 1500€/month
That’s only because the former already implies much of the latter, so they don’t need to repeat it
I’m naming my kid machine code.
You’ll never allow him to leave the sandbox?
He’ll have to handle the hardware for his parents, they’re treating him firmly
Land’s Raider
Imagine calling your kid KnockoutJS.
