Re: [theguy] what's these languages used for? In reply to
Fortran and onwards to the fortran 90 is a language suited to mathematics.

Scientific and engineering math.

-- Many types of bridges are only possible today due to computers and fortran.

Cobol is a lauguage for business use on mainframes [ a famous Navy officer wrote it ? ]

Basic is a very simple language but still useful as you can compile basic into a very small

standalone exe , I still have a basic compiler from Borland. TurboBasic ver 1.0

Pascal [ French Variables only allowed ] and Borlands Delphi $$$ - can be used in place C or C++ is used.

C and C++ lang are used to fly to the moon and back without paying royalties.

Perl is only for web rubbish and everything else worth coding.

Visual Basic is MS basic , groovy graphical and you have to have a Ford to move the

runtime libraries.

Java is for coffee shops , especially online coffee shops. Sun Java & MS Java ?

Php is another web rubbish language, not to be confused with Perl.

Simula67 is probably a cousin of Algol60 and Ada is for Disneyland only.

All languages compile with errors due to the keyboard operator.

Thanks
