  1. Re:If only fortran were useful on Fortran 2000 Committee Draft · · Score: 1
    I'll start by admitting that I have little experience with fortran and with the applications thereof.

    ...

    I'm not familiar with fortran 95 ...

    If you do not no Fortran, then why do you think you are the right person to tell others if it should be thaught/used or not?

  2. Fortran 90 on Is FORTRAN Still Kicking? · · Score: 1

    >I know about Fortran 90 but it is not much
    >nicer than F77,

    Wether F90 is nicer than F77 or not is a matter of taste I guess, but I think it's much better. I really hate F77, while F90 is in my opinion one of the best programming languages ever. It is easy to learn, very high level, and fast.

    >and no one seems to use it

    ???

    I know lots of peaople who uses F90, no one who uses F77 for new development.

  3. Re:practical experience implementing compilers?? on The D Programming Language · · Score: 1
    He's talking about making the compiler do all the work - for instance, there are no headers, as declarations are lifted from the source. For that matter, modules and libararies and source are treated the same. I think that he *might* be talking about features that would require a new object format, and thus a new linker.
    I don't know what he is thinking about (nor what you are thinking about), but I don't think a new linker is needed. Fortran (NO, I'm not talking about FORTRAN 77) has these same features, and most Fortran compilers (all that I have used) uses the standard linkers.
  4. Re:Octave on Open Source Symbolic Math Program? · · Score: 1

    Octave is a greate tool for numerical calculations, but AFAIK it can't do symbolic math
