Nor I. Looking at the Wikipedia page, I discover that it had been
spelt "Fortran" as early as 1956, and there's even a copy of the 1956
Fortran manual online: http://www.fortran.com/FortranForTheIBM704.pdf
Interesting reading.
come on guys, fortran is not case sensitive...
Anyway I guess it's good news that LLVM
is being used also by Cray and Nvidia.
It's a shame though that, with LLVM as the
default compiler, further development of
FreeBSD/ia64 and FreeBSD/sparc64
will probably suffer and then stop altogether.
