Fortranspeak & Javaspeak

I'm a Fortran77 programmer (computational fluid dynamics etc.) and am
trying to work with a Java programmer who is writing a front end.

Neither of us understand a word the other one says. I don't understand
him when he talks about class, instance, method, referencing, casting,
event, constructor, accessor, bytecode, overriding, registering etc.

He doesn't understand me when I talk about subroutine, common, real,
logical etc. He doesn't even know what a "program" is.

Is there a translation guide between Fortranspeak and Javaspeak?

I've figured out that "method" means "subroutine"; I program his
"class" using "named common"; his "referencing" is like an "equivalence
statement". Take it from there.
