Author, I pray ye learn Early Modern English verb conjugation, the declension of "thou", and how the occurrence of periphrastic "do" changed with the era, that your titles, headings, and text might fall easily upon the eye and mind of the reader.<p>(Seriously, nice post, and well done on the title graphic font choice.)
Author missed a trick by not using a font with a long S. Also had some trouble declining thee/thou/thy, which is admittedly hard for a modern speaker.
I'm thoroughly surprised to see that Fortran is still being updated (with an upgrade still in the works for next year apperantly). I had no idea.<p>I'll give it a shot as it seems interesting to at least have worked in it a bit, but I do wonder, where is Fortran used these days?<p>A quick glance at Tiobe[1] shows that it scored a bit higher than Haskell, Scala and Kotlin. Can anyone explain me why?<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/</a>
