#fortran77 - what if everyt was as it used to be

A Nix flake for the public domain Ratfor preprocessor with my few bug fixes.
(I fix a buffer overrun, in particular.)

You may need this for Rosetta Code examples I have written, for example. It is also a good way to write FORTRAN 77, which you very well may need to do someday. The result code is perfectly good FORTRAN 77, if you know what you are doing.

Und wieder eine "neue" alte Sprache gelernt. Fortran77. Ich versuche gerade die Cray Y-MP EL etwas zu kitzeln.

Also mal das Traveling Sales Person Problem mit 23 zufälligen Städten mit asymmetrischen Gewichten testen:

PROGRAM TSP_HEURISTIC
IMPLICIT NONE

INTEGER N
PARAMETER (N = 23)
REAL C(N,N), X(N)

Cobol-Entwickler wurden 1999 schonmal gesucht;-)
Und damals gab es die auch kaum noch...

Guess the number in FORTRAN 77 – Both.org https://www.both.org/?p=7047 #Fortran77

Did you know that the last of the nine-billion(ish) names of God is MMMLMMMLM ?

Перестал стесняться и пишу в vscode промты для чата копайлота не в окошке чата, а тупо в основном редакторе, он и дописывает заодно :)
#старпёрческое А когда-то в тетрадке в клетку код на #fortran77 писал

Is there anyone else out there who's attempting #AdventOfCode in an older language (and/or dialect) like #Pascal or #Fortran77? I see lots of people doing it using the usual suspects, but I can't believe I'm the only one enjoying it as a #RetroComputing exercise!

```
PROGRAM PuppetMaster
WRITE(6,*) 'My codename is project two-five-zero-one. I am a living, ' //
+ 'thinking entity that was created in the sea of information.'
END

Following up from a conversation about how some CS grads are surprised to find old tech in their new jobs - and don't know how to work with it…

Anyone interested in a miniseries on the YouTube channel about #FORTRAN77 programming?

If 10 people reply "yes" I'll do it. 🤓

@astronomerritt I used to enjoy the staring at the terminal way more. Couldn’t write a line of #Fortran77 these days mind. If I’d have worked harder though I’d be a radio astronomer and not a network engineer :)

Just told to "grow up" and stop using #Fortran77 in #ClimateModels (actually I don't, ours are written in #FORTRAN90) but it has me wondering if there are any #weather + #climate models that don't use #FORTRAN as the core code apart from #UKESM?

@jared @au_hasard Yeah, I know. Afaik the modern versions like #Fortran95 or later have even parallel computing with OpenMP. I was taught #Fortran77 in 2000 as part of studies at a physics school, but then shifted towards #cpython etc. Besides researchers that use it in science and engineering even today, it'll never die as it's libraries are behind modern libs like #NumPy and packages like #Matlab :).
