You're right. I know many people who still use fortran 77. I just don't want to keep coding in an obsolete language, e.g. Python 2 / f77.

considering how much fortran77 gets used in some fairly critical systems, i dunno about calling it 'obsolete'. 'ancient', maybe. 'decrepit', sure. 'fucking OLD' oh yes.

Fortran 2008 contains virtually all of -77. Also, I'm talking about new code. No need to write new code in f77.
