rragan

1973–1982

Helped define the language as part of X3J3 standards committee

danceswithvowels

1980–1981

SCADA on PDP-11 (RSX-11S/M/M+) systems. DEC's F77 compiler was such an improvement over FORTRAN4-Plus.

boutell

1980

My first exposure to real programming, before BASIC. I came in on printing terminals and thankfully missed punch cards. I'd read the Fortran textbook gathering dust on mom and dad's bookshelf, so I was good to go.

1983–

1984

1984–1989

1985–1993

My final year degree project was an implementation of the the Graphical Kernel System in Fortran 77. I also wrote some oil field data analysis applications between 1989 and 1993 using the language.

gjmilne

1986–1995

Started out on DEC Pro 350 for instrument control and then did a load at the first job on and off for years

jancona

1990–1992

Did some shop-floor control and monitoring of manufacturing systems using VAX FORTRAN.

esevland

1990–1992

sarahewelch

1990–1991

r1chardj0n3s

1992–1996

Learnt at Uni and then used a little bit at the Australian Bureau of Meterology. Thankfully not much :-)

RCARDENES

1997–

Met it on a Numerical Analysis course at uni. Still using it every now and then for my job :)

1998–

greyfade

2003–2004

Needed to use an old function used by FCC rules. Never again. But ITPLBV.F is still pretty cool.

sergio

2003

Learned from an old Numerical Calculus book I found. Just played with it for a few weeks. Very odd language.

My first programming language (in a college class). Hated it. On a Data General green screen.
