Less of a joke than you think, perhaps. Back in the early 1980s, a
family friend said something like, "In the year 2000, there will be a
programming language. I don't know what it will look like, and I don't
know what it will do. But I do know one thing: it will be called
FORTRAN."
After all, FORTRAN 2003 contains OOP support....
