    Part 9 - (The Future of Real Programmers) - the final part
    --------------------------------------------------
    What of future? It is a matter of some concern to Real Programmers that the latest generation of
    computer programmers are not being brought up with the same outlook on life as their elders. Many of
    them have never seen a computer with a front panel. Hardly anyone graduating from school these days
    can do hex arithmetic without a calculator. College graduates these days are soft - protected from the
    realities of programming by source level debuggers, text editors that count parentheses, and "user friendly"
    opearing systems. Worst of all, some of these alleged "computer scientists" manage to get degrees without
    ever learning FORTRAN! Are we destined to become an industry of Unix hackers and PASCAL
    programmers?
    From my experience, I can only report that the furure is bright for Real Programmers everywhere. more...

    Part 2 (Languages) - (Original author: nobody@hangout. rutgers. edu)
    -----------------------------------------------
    The easiest way to tell a Real Programmer from the crowd is by the programming language (s)he uses.
    Real Programmers use FORTRAN. Quiche Eaters use PASCAL. Nicklaus Wirth, the designer of PASCAL,
    gave a talk once at which he was asked, "How do you pronounce your name?" He replied, "You can call
    me either by name, pronouncing it' Veert', or call me by value' Worth'." One can tell immediately from this
    comment that Nicklaus Wirth is a Quiche Eater. The only parameter passing mechanism endorsed by Real
    Programmers is call-by-value-return, as implemented in the IBM/370 FORTRAN-G and H compilers. Real
    programmers don't need all these abstract concepts to get their job done - they are perfectly happy with
    a keypunch, a FORTRAN IV compiler and a beer.
    - Real Programmers do List Processing in FORTRAN.
