If you can use Pascal the GNU pascal suite is great

Your right, f77 is much more performant in intensive numerical
computations than c or c++, at least on SGI (IRIX). For example, on a
Indigo 2, a version of a code in f77 have a peak performance of 270
MFLOPS. The same code in c/c++ peak at 100 MFLOPS. Ok, maybe the c/c++
version could be more optim

In the early 80's a local computer rag ran a tongue-in-cheek

Sorry, I can't resist either!(BTW, the following are just my
personal opinion, and I hope I'm not starting a language war. :)
And the following might be off-topic. (sorry!)

But it sure beats the Fortran

fortran (77) is horrible. Well, it _was_ ok, Backus was a pioneer, etc. But we
are in the end of the '90s (and I thought only *my* profs were forcing
students to use it!)
You will be much better writing your code in ANSI C (pointers aren't difficult

As i prepare to launch back into coding, is anyone familiar with just
how bad the Fortran support is? or is that all a myth?
I really need as much performance as I can get, and the low level stuff
in c/c++ is gross overkill for my usage. The low-level stuff built into
other languages took about
