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)
