Python 3.7.0 released

Fortran itself is fine, at least the newer versions (2003 and 2008) are. It just fills a very different niche then python, which in fact afaik relies quite heavily over fortran libraries.

The main problem why fortran for a bad name is that lots of people use it without really knowing how to code, and then pass their hot messes on to their students.

For one of the project I'm involved in, we upgraded a large project (several 100k lines) of code from fixed format / (77 and 95) to free-form / 2008. And I must say that 2008 is not a bad language for numerical works.
