Continued dominance of Fortran in sci-computing shows how little foundational computing paradigms have changed in 60y. What say Juliards?
@prathyvsh Invalid comparison. Fortran is still used on some of the most demanding high-performance compute tasks, not low-end.

@vgr Knew it was faulty. But I think the other idea holds that popularity doesn't have much correlation with foundational paradigms. -
@prathyvsh I think foundations just move more slowly.

@vgr@prathyvsh Would valid "foundational" "paradigm" comparison go "Continued use of circular wheels & IC engines..." -
@r_ganesh@prathyvsh ah yes. Tracks, legged vehicles, and force effect drives are still no match.
