Programming Language Rant
From http://www.esm.psu.edu/~ajm138/fortranexamples.html:
C programmers love to gloat that recursion can not be done in Fortran. When they say Fortran, they mean FORTRAN 77, since they absolutely refuse to acknowledge the existence of modern Fortran 90. (Fortran 90 came out over ten years ago. You would think they might know something about it by now!) But this example shows that even in FORTRAN 77 one can quickly and easily write routines that are recursive. So stick that in your complex variables, C programmers, and — oh wait, I forgot there are no complex variables in C. You have to manually define a complex data type. Not to mention having to write math functions like sin( ) and cos( ) to handle such data types.
Hahaaa … love it!
