Apparently, NASA needs good Fortran programmers to increase the performance of their experimental aircraft air flow simulator up to 10,000 faster. FUN3D
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

"This is the ultimate 'geek' dream assignment,"
I saw that article. I can't believe NASA is spinning it as a "dream assignment". Rearchitecting complex algorithms hardly qualifies as a "dream assignment" in my book, even for NASA, and especially in FORTRAN. And on top of that, they're looking for four orders of magnitude improvement (although only one is OK)? Oh, duh, I think I just figured out where the "dream" part comes in.
I get my fill of that at work.. it's not NASA, but at least I get to use C# and the pay is better.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I thought my buddy Pauli was going to be invited, but he's been excluded.

If you go, make sure you've tied your boson right.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Sometimes i see some developers say that java kicks the c# or via versa. Yesterday a good know java developer which is jug chairman in turkey said that "I need to have install visual studio for a project,
then i saw microsoft seized my computer.". Sometimes they share microsoft steal your codes. the source is that Visual Studio adding telemetry function calls to binary? : cpp[^]
What do you think about that?

Not sure about what you are talking of, but, for most of us, you become a fan of whatever technology (in my case C++) lets you be most productive.

That now comes only third on my list now. ##1 and 2 are now:
1) I don't want to sell my soul to some company.
2) It's unacceptable that some company tries to take over my system resources whenever they please, install spyware as 'updates', change settings if they don't like them or, most important, snoop around in my work.

Why not? You might make a couple of bucks. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Agreed.
I would also think that's partly a comfort thing; like I don't know how to do "x" in language "y" but my trusty tool kit I've been building over the course of my career, has that "x" feature ready to go.
Programming language wars are flat out stupid, it's like arguing over what is better; English or Spanish or something else. They (mostly) all have unique benefits, some are more universal but that does not invalidate others.
