For the uninitiated, can you give a little background on http://slickorslack.com?
The link you sent took me to a list of seemingly unrelated code
snippets: a Haskell program for computing the Fibonacci sequence, a
Ruby program related to encryption, a Fortran program for finding an
available file unit, etc. What's the common thread and what's the
purpose of this site?

If you're trying to win a popularity contest by Fortran against other
languages, you're climbing an extremely steep hill. There is so much
uninformed bias against Fortran that it's almost impossible to get a
fair hearing unless you know you're talking to a friendly audience.
