Are there any schools teaching FORTRAN and more?
Does it
have an active community? If not, ...
Amazingly*, Yes.
I go visit my old college bookstore every few years for fresh titles
in Computer Science (this year: I bought O/S internals by Stallings).
It's a top 25 undergraduate engineering ranked place with a big
budget for new equipment so I was quite surprised to see this year
the book "Classical Fortran" by Kupferschmid. In my head I'm thinking
Fortran is Only for classiccmps and classiccmps are Retired equipment.
Apparently this course is for maintenence programmers.
