I haven't used a modern Fortran, but for older versions , the biggest surprise was the lack of reentrance.

Very nice, my first professional job was with Fortran IV, but my 19 year old self made lots of mistakes back then :)

Anyway I eventually ended up with c. Recently I started playing with gfortran, but so much have leaked out of me I have been having a tough time of it. I expect this will help me a lot!

Edit: No functions ? OK, noticed it is handled under Subprograms. Seems there have been many changes.

Still used in scientific computing. Perhaps also in some financial settings? Otherwise it’s pretty dead.

I hate to be superficial, but languages without braces just feel weird to me. I can use them and have even for a paycheck, but... no thanks. Even Lua, one of my favorite languages (if not #1), always feels at least slightly weird when I use it because of do/end.
