Fortran is the oldest programming language still in widespread use. The language has evolved considerably since it was first released in 1957. Fortran was original developed for scientific and engineering applications, and remains especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. By convention, versions before Fortran 90 are spelled with all uppercase letters (e.g. FORTRAN IV, FORTRAN 66, FORTRAN 77), while starting with Fortran 90, the mixed case spelling is used (i.e. Fortran 90, Fortran 95, Fortran 2003 and [http://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/12/12-007.pdf Fortran 2008]). The most recent standard is [https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/18/18-007r1.pdf Fortran 2018] (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2018). |
