why not? the language is straightforward and loops are fast. It is portable and your code will work unchanged for the next 50 years. It may be a bit verbose, but that's not a big deal with today's tooling.

We built Cobolsky. Will go public soon. Parallelly too curious on Fortran. The world is better with a Fortran-based social network client in it :)

When we are building the feed composer, in next version, Fortran will be great for the algorithm etc.

Keeping the ancient languages alive. I built some Cobol stuff many years ago. Back at it again. Rusty.

Both Cobolsky and Fortransky looks great on Swordfish90’s cool-retro-term, but we are building our own terminal for Fortransky too. There is a blog post with screenshots over at Patreon/formerlab

Can’t get enough Fortran

It’s fun and it is appreciated by them, and the young ones who are curious

Also a great blogging platform: https://leaflet.pub

Here's a goal tracker: https://goals.garden

This one just dropped recently; it's 44 different atproto-related apps with a cyberpunk theme: https://www.aetheros.computer/

Lots others mentioned here: https://blueskydirectory.com/

Many devs reuse schema and write some twitter/bsky clone

Kind of search engine for my Blueaky likes

Gotta get off the timeline, germ has a messaging app, then there is Tangled and some more

We do Fortransky and Cobolsky now, got more ideas for the protocol than time :)

The original Manual exists as a PDF. Was it in a Stuttgart uni URL? Just a search away.

Late in Sweden, gotta Fortran tomorrow. Happy to continue discussion here tomorrow.
