Did you know that The oldest programming language still in use is FORTRAN which was created in 1957 by John Backus?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, that's almost 70 years ago???

I know, it's crazy. Here's an example program:

PROGRAM MAIN
PRINT *, 'HELLO WORLD'
STOP
END

There's also a more modern version which is a bit easier to read:

program helloWorld
   print *, "Hello World!"
end program helloWorld

Good to know, thanks buddy!
