About Fortran
Fortran (earlier FORTRAN) is a low level programming language. It is often recognised as the first programming language and was created in the 1950s. The name Fortran is derived from FORmula TRANslator. When Fortran was created computers did not have near the computing power of modern computers it prioritized computation-speed over code-readability. The high computation speed is the main reason behind Fortrans continued use. It is very well suited for numeric computing and is still widely used for scientific purposes.
