Happy 50th Birthday, FORTRAN

The programming language FORTRAN was born in 1957.

More precisely, the first FORTRAN compiler was released in 1957.

 

This is a screenshot (actually, an actual photography of a computer screen on film) of some of my first humble graphics programming experiments, programmed on a HP3000 computer in FORTRAN - this was back in about 1984 when I learned programming. My interest in computer graphics eventually led to the development of HOP in the early nineties
