 O man don't tell me that means a *real* pwogwammer
knows how to use the <TAB> key. Or spends half his
coding time running the spacebar.

 Unlikely the F variant (OO) is popular amongst

 No, I think some people are just too lazy to learn a
new language LOL LOL. Actually if all the FORTRAN
code, libraries and all, were transformed into say C

Visual C++ GUI. For what all that mess is worth.
