- Hi there.
-
- In these days we hear and read a lot of stuff about reusability using object
- oriented programming languages like C++. Well, scientists have been reusing
- Fortran modules for a long, long time. Some computer science experts seem to
- have discovered reusability last night.
-
- I use Fortran because I get my work done and, what is most, I reuse my modules
- all the time. Who needs C++ (for numerical work)? Long life to Fortran.
-
- Regards, Julio.
