Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit.

FORTH IF HONK THEN

FORTRAN is a good example of a language
which is easier to parse using ad hoc techniques.
                -- D. Gries
                [What's good about it?  Ed.]

FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.

FORTRAN is not a flower but a weed -- it is hardy,
occasionally blooms, and grows in every computer.
                -- A.J. Perlis

FORTRAN is the language of Powerful Computers.
                -- Steven Feiner

FORTRAN rots the brain.
                -- John McQuillin

FORTRAN, "the infantile disorder", by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly
inadequate for whatever computer application you have in mind today: it is
too clumsy, too risky, and too expensive to use.
                -- Edsger W. Dijkstra, SIGPLAN Notices, Volume 17, Number 5

[FORTRAN] will persist for some time --
probably for at least the next decade.
                -- T. Cheatham

Fortunate is he for whom the belle toils.
