This is obviously written by someone who does not know both languages well.
The two books are definitely NOT comparable in semantic detail. But if you
*do* know both languages well, you will note that both modern Fortran and
Ada are large languages. Neither is complex by my definition of complex,
people usually mean large when they say complex (just look at the data
in the above paragraph used to support the allegation)
