FORTRAN 77

FORTRAN 77 is an ancient high-level programming language, descended from FORTRAN IV, which was designed for easy encoding mathematical and scientific formulas in a computer program.

It’s a great pitty that FORTRAN (for many years), and as a "scientific" computer programming language, was not capable to handle recursion – a fundamental feature of (encoding) dynamical processes!

Well, today FORTRAN is still alive (!) and, of course, recursion is now no longer a foreign word for Fortran (as it’s written today).

And, since 2003 it’s even an object-oriented programming language!

The Book I read: FORTRAN 77, written by
Harald Wehnes, ISBN 3-446-13699-1.

It is a very good and detailed book that I actually can recommend to you!
