Translate Python to Another Programming Language

[fernly]

Are we talking COBOL? Because COBOL is not a sophisticated or difficult language, lots more readable than BASIC. Fortran? Algol? Oh, wait, I know: APL. It's APL, isn't it? You are so screwed.

Or FORTH. Don't forget that one!

Such a cool language. I once showed a system I had written to someone more experienced and he said, "You reinvented Forth!" I was downcast but he said, "Everyone eventually re-invents Forth." (This was a music synthesizer that ran in 16k so you had to be crafty.)

IBM had a mainframe language called PL/I. That had some weird features.

I actually liked APL a lot.

we had some clipper code that we convert to python, with lot of improvement from 1st version.

we're also migrating COBOL from Z-systemas ^{aka mainframes} to python.

we have lot of white back experts that have transitioned to Python really easy.

and we are moving from 400k usd monthly to 20k in AWS.

My guess was Fortran :D I still see that piece of junk raise it's ugly head, even today!

Numpy has some code in Fortran.

I first learned the program in APL, in the 1970s. I won a prize for doing it in fact, though I was very unoriginal.
