Amidst today's Rust and Go hype, a growing contingent of developers is exploring Fortran – the 67-year-old language powering scientific computing. This deep dive reveals how modern Fortran syntax, performance advantages, and refreshed tooling make it surprisingly relevant for contemporary technical challenges.

On September 20th, 1954, the first FORTRAN program executed, proving high-level languages could rival hand-crafted assembly. Exactly 29 years later, the RSA algorithm was patented, solving secure communication between strangers. These twin pillars of abstraction and security continue to underpin modern computing.
