To Mike Metcalf: I bet this thread generates enough stuff to fill a whole issue of FF.

Subject: Retire FORTRAN?!
A friend of mine pointed me to the following website:
"PETITION TO RETIRE FORTRAN"
http://www.fortranstatement.com
Being a long time Fortran developer for scientific computing, I
think those statements make a lot of sense, although I am not
sure I will sign the petition.
I wonder what people on this list think about those statements.
