How does this compare to the "old standard?" 1. Fortran requires every variable to have a defined type, but automatically defaults to floating or integer type based on the first letter of the variable name. Or, you can pre-define your own sets of first-letter defaults with the Implicit command. Once you get used to this, writing new code goes just as fast as if you didn't need to define types.
2. Optimizing compilers take care of most of the clean-up phase. No work required.
