Is it possible that at some evolutionary stage a language can become too big for its own britches? FORTRAN9x may be a turning point for some companies to move to C or Ada. Rather than take "advantage" of the "new" features of an old, established language set, it might be worthwhile considering the advantages of actually converting to those languages that already have those "new" features. Is there any concern in the programming community about the effects of '9x on future trends?

But do these great other languages have the vector operations that fortran9x has? If not, another great theory augers in at 743 kts. -- Tom O'Toole - ecf_stbo@jhuvms.bitnet - JHUVMS system programmer Homewood Computing Facilities, Johns Hopkins University, Balto.
