Re: Fortran bashing in the MATLAB newsgroup

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm a long-time developer and programmer in
Matlab, and I also do a little work (including Matlab<>Fortran
interfaces) in Fortran. In all depends upon whether one needs to
program computers, or do number crunching. Engineers wanting to solve
numerical problems by doing number crunching still write in Fortran so
far as I am aware, whereas people who want to program computers
(windows, user interfaces, etc.), for whatever reason, use something
else. I tried learning C/C++ once; but it was too low-level a language
for engineering application problem solving - much better suited to the
computer professional IMHO. Horses-for-courses, and all that!
