From chemistry-request@ccl.net Tue Dec 10 08:36:35 1991 Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1991 06:05 CDT From: Andy Holder Subject: FORTRAN vs. C To: CHEMISTRY@ccl.net Status: RO Sure C is more structured. So is Pascal (shudder). Sure C does somethings easier and better than FORTRAN. So does COBOL (goose- pimples). Perhaps a strength of FORTRAN is the lack of structure. On a less philosophical, but more religious note, FORTRAN is so much cooler than the other languages. Its the language of our youth. We leave our culture behind at the risk of losing our ident- ities and becoming lost wandering sheep in a multicultural world (Toungue firmly in cheek.) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DR.
