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
I mean, Fortran isn’t even dead. It was updated last year. Weird but it’s still a used language.
And it is still living in weather forecasting models used by many weather institutes.

And a lot of science libraries.

We use those too! The weather forecasting models are really important for calculating prices in the German Energy market. My company is even paying people extra for learning Fortran to do these tasks. It’s really weird to talk to 20-something y/o people who actively use Fortran.
Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?
My parents called me Basic.
You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp
JavaScript was actually invented in 1845 by John JavaScript
And he invented JavaScript in a cave, with a box of scraps
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!
Ada is good name for girl child
I knew a guy who worked with stuff at Nasa programmed in Ada and who named his daughter Ada :)
Was going to give my daughter the middle name Ada until my best friend for 20+ years pointed out Jenny Ate A Dick or if she was heavier food items Jenny is not my daughter’s name but used for an example.
Tbh I still wanted to use it but my wife said no. I also lost the battle for Grace, and Marie. I gave up and let her pick the middle name in the delivery room all hopped up on hormones. I’m pretty sure she regrets the choice since we have never mentioned her middle name in 6 months.
I’m naming my kid machine code.
You’ll never allow him to leave the sandbox?
Land’s Raider
Well in Poland we have so many girls named “Julia”, so you know…
This kid’s full name is Fortran Sucksdontlearnit Johnson. His parents actually hated Fortran. Imagine the disappointment they’re about to experience.

Don’t you guys know about Jacob Ava?
