Fortran first appeared in 1957... It's probably older than most people here on HN.

It's just 34 more yeats until F'57 becomes ambigous ..

I think you’ve made a typo,

> yeats

It is yeets, two e’s no a.

As the other comment pointed out, F90 is surprisingly good considering it is also probably older than most people on this site, haha.
