Abstract

Changes made to, and proposed for, Fortran seem to be directed to improving the code that can be written in it. At the same time, supporters of Fortran deplore Fortran's declining popularity, and suggest improvements to improve Fortran code further. However, Fortran's popularity might be boosted by making it a better system to program in by providing support for the programming process rather than improving the product.
