Answer 3

Fortran is one of the first languages for scientific programming (1957) replacing coding in Assembly and was the first compiler to support optimizations. It also happens to be the first language I learned in 1973. I was the go-to expert at my college in under a week as it was that easy to learn. Today's Fortran looks nothing like what I programmed in.

Answer 4

Thank you, John. Your comment was very nice!
As I said, I'm going to study in a scientific area and I believe I will have to learn about Fortran.
I am not in IT area but since I discovered I love programming I'm trying to engage more, like posting a question here in Sololearn. I never thought the community would be so helpful and nice with me, that's why I appreciate your response.

Answer 5

well that's cool John wells that u had the privilege of seeing it all happen and quite astounding u are an expert in the time when the computer &internet had just came up ! And thanks for the info !

I would like to personally know which language you feel has greater acessability and power in processing data?
what do you suggest?

Answer 6

C++ is the most powerful I know. However, Java is better for new programmers as it runs a close second and prevents you from coding the worst type of bugs C++ programs end up with.

Answer 7

Last I knew Fortran was still the first choice. C and C++ are also heavily used. I was a Physics major so I try to keep up on the subject.
