How portable is properly-written Fortran 90?
Oh god, i've just discovered there's a Fortran 2003. It's got object orientation.
Fortran is not WORA, because you will need to recompile
and there most certainly are compiler specific extensions.
But the typical scientific computing program is probably
very portable. Because number crunching is not really
platform specific and that type of programs rarely
accesses database, do GUI, wants to start default
browser, want to access registry, want to map global
memory and all that stuff that often makes porting
hard.
