I wonder if it’s the same poor, persevering practitioners of modern Fortran who are going “crazy” that Fortran in effect looks down on user productivity and convenience, dismissing or ignoring proposals that are centered around such ease-of-coding aspects that they find are readily so many other programming languages. Mind you, these are languages that have greatly increasing usage application in scientific computing and technical programming and whose bearers place tremendous value in making the lives of their programmers easier by offering enhanced coding facilities in addition to improving performance!
