It will be cool to see what the NASA coders have up their sleeves. It will be interesting to see just how they think. Of course, as a younger coder, i'm not sure i'm going to want to learn FORTRAN just to do it.
Be sure to be specific when Fortran bashing. Fortran 77 should
justifiably elicit shudders and shouts, but
Fortran 90 and later are very nice for
scientific programming. In fact, modern
Fortran doesn't look a whole lot like Fortran 77.
Regarding the evolution of Fortran, I had a CS professor who used to say, "Nobody knows what the programming language we'll use 20 years from now will look like, but you can bet it will be called Fortran."

Are there other examples of NASA released code?
