There are a lot of things that can't be done at one point in time or 
another.  The trick is to learn them so that you can do them.

I can see how / why an older long out of vogue language can't be read by 
newer / younger people.  But that ignorance, as in lack of knowledge, 
doesn't preclude people from learning.

There is a point in every person's life when they can't read their 
native language.  They must learn it.  This is the natural order of things.

> But Fortran ??? Wow.

~shrug~  out of vogue language
