- Sometimes there are very trivial reasons to prefer FORTRAN:
-
- On a Siemens/Fujitsu vector computer where I have access to (a nice
- machine with 5 Giga-FLOPS), there only is a FORTRAN compiler, no
- assembler, no C, no PASCAL, only FORTRAN.
-
- C.v.W.
-
- P.S. I have not yet seen a 100,000 lines C program, whereas I work with
- several FORTRAN programs which are larger than this.
