I don't know. Perhaps you can tell us. |

I find it unreadable and had unpleasant experience |
| 11 |
with fortran code. I actually had to **pick a compiler** |
| 12 |
to the existing code in order to compile and get expected |
| 13 |
results. After a few painful loops of "get a new compiler" - |
| 14 |
"compile" - "fail" I was told that ifort should handle the |
| 15 |
situation. I downloaded ifort (will RMS ever forgive me?) |
| 16 |
and found out that my processor didn't support all the |
| 17 |
instructions required for running ifort (SSE2). Of course |
| 18 |
it (code failing to compile) is programmer's fault. |
| 19 |
It was a part of my job so I couldn't just lay it off and |
| 20 |
forget about it. |

What is better? |

Suddenly, modelling in physics isn't computational mathematics |
| 32 |
and it's easier to think in object rather than procedures. |
