Good recollections of the programming languages COBOL and FORTRAN. Hope your dad enjoyed and continues to enjoy whatever he does. I was born in 1981, learnt programming in college in 1999-2000. I learnt COBOL and FORTRAN too. To me, at this moment, all programming languages are almost the same. I am doing go now, will pick up rust by the end of this year. We have to the solve the problems they keep changing.

COBOL, Fortran, Go, and Rust are all the same language… ;-)

Have you tried out OCaml, Scala, or Idris?

Or maybe something exotic like Mercury?
