Author, I pray ye learn Early Modern English verb conjugation, the declension of &quot;thou&quot;, and how the occurrence of periphrastic &quot;do&quot; 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&#x2F;thou&#x2F;thy, which is admittedly hard for a modern speaker.

I&#x27;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&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tiobe.com&#x2F;tiobe-index&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tiobe.com&#x2F;tiobe-index&#x2F;</a>

maketh is 3rd person singular, but should be an infinitive. cutesy middle english &quot;fail&quot;

I guess I was expecting a little more substance to the post. It seems like a long-winded for the little substance in it.

What?!?!?! No separate linking step?!?!?! Heresy, says I.
