[Info-vax] [OT] Current students apparently can't read Fortran code...

|CLiMA made the determination that old climate models, many of which were
|built 50 years ago and coded in Fortran, had to go if there was going to be
|any progress toward better climate models. Now that he's working at MIT on
|the CGC project, he's realized that "traditional climate models are in a
|language [MIT] students can't even read."

Can't read the latest symbol-based (instead of word-based) language
without lots of study ? Ok, that's a fair thing to say.

But Fortran ??? Wow.

(And this is MIT!).
