Really modern and useful features would be to have strong typing and have simple visibility rules in addition to "modernist" formalism. Are these really in F90/95 ? It would mean to sacrify some compatibility with F77. Frankly at some point it becomes fruitless to relift an old language by borrowing features from others and try to glue them. > And many areas are less-verbose than Ada, Can you cite one area, one example ?

A question of taste surely... _____________________________________________ Gautier -- http://members.xoom.com/gdemont/
