FORTRAN was a dead end, both in syntax (line-oriented,
line numbers) and
semantics (common blocks, static arrays, very poor string support).
Fortran 2025, the sixth edition, is rather different
from 1956.
But, a real programmer can write a FORTRAN program in any language, even
in Fortran 77, Fortran 90, or Fortran 2025 (which I have never seen)
