Nice to hear that some folks actually consider the required functionality rather
than some perverted self interest need to get on a costly upgrade treadmill and
make other companies rich. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I started programming with WatFor on punch cards. I then moved to APL, Masm then
Dbase, COBOL and C. Most vendors ship new versions on a regular basis. I've
never seen a program that hasn't had an update or modification in 20 years,
except for the legacy stuff that is kept in archives. I've worked with a few
programmers that refused to learn the new features added to the languages
sticking with the notion that 'you can program fortran in any language'[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

First FORTRAN program in 1967, via punch cards.
