A blog about making HPC things (kind of) workQuick what is the following? 900 format (I4,F8.3). If you are confused, you are probably not part of the HPC community. It is a "Format" statement from the Fortran language (no longer needed in new versions). Confused or not, you may be inclined to think Fortran is that old dying language used by old retiring programmers. It is possible that you may not even know much about the language at all! In my experience, I have found many new programmers take an elitist view of Fortran. They normally talk of languages like Python, C++ or Java as "new" modern languages. "Why would anyone use Fortran?" they ask.
