For the same reason no one says to Frank Gehry in reference to his architecture "Ogive me a break"?

FORTRAN was invented in 1954 and its first compiler implemented in 1957. By 1969, ironically, things were a lot more BASIC (though C was just around the corner). FORTRAN programmers in 1969 ahead of the pack? What a load of COBOLers, and that's a FACT!

I live in a remote and backward region of the world called Scandinavia. 1957 our primitive lands were still ruled by Vikings with blunt swords. Suddenly things sped up: We got sliced bread in 1965. But we never heard of FORTRAN before 1969. And this is no Smalltalk.

So 1965 is when knife sharpeners were introduced to Scandinavia? Can't slice bread with a blunt sword.

I did not mean "poor" in the financial sense, but more as a synonym for "pathetic".

Well I suppose that's one way to try concealing that you're working in an open plan office the ninth circle of hell.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Ninth Circle, The Hell of Traitors, is a literally a very cool place; it is a vast lake of ice where the Treacherous are buried in four zones whose depth reflects the enormity of their betrayals.

It's been four years since I last visited the Q/A section with the intent of answering a question. I'm much more calm and relaxed...
