It seems like you&#x27;re purposely misunderstanding the point of the article to fit your worldview. This is less about about the new hip things the kids want and more about running a business.<p>Do you know FORTRAN? Do you know any programmers who know FORTRAN? Do you know anyone who wants to learn FORTRAN? Unless you&#x27;re in the community the answer to all of those is no. And I can&#x27;t imagine it&#x27;s a big or growing community. The obvious consequence of this is FORTRAN will become more and more expensive to run a business on as time goes by because fewer and fewer people will have experience with it or any desire to use it. It&#x27;s going to be harder to find people to port it and even harder to find people to maintain it.<p>That&#x27;s why it&#x27;s a problem.
