Fortran
Fortran (formerly FORTRAN, derived from "Formula Translation") is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics and computational chemistry. It is a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.
Fortran encompasses a lineage of versions, each of which evolved to add extensions to the language while usually retaining compatibility with prior versions. Successive versions have added support for structured programming and processing of character-based data (FORTRAN 77), array programming, modular programming and generic programming (Fortran 90), high performance Fortran (Fortran 95), object-oriented programming (Fortran 2003) and concurrent programming (Fortran 2008).
Fortran 5
Fortran 5 was an electronic music band active during the 1990s.
Background
The band were made up of members David Baker and Simon Leonard, who had previously worked together on the music project known as I Start Counting. Around 1990, they had begun recording new material, and realised that the new music had a different sound compared to their previous electropop style. They decided to rename their project Fortran 5 in order to give their new dance/techno style a fresh start. The new project also involved the duo collaborating and working with a number of other artists. These included Kris Weston of The Orb, and Rod Slater from Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
The band's final album was titled Avocado Suite and was their most experimental work; this was far removed from their early electropop sound.
Fortran 5 also remixed songs from artists such as Inspiral Carpets, Erasure and Laibach.
Simon Leonard also wrote a book called Fortran 5, which was published by Malice Aforethought Press.

New Hope
by: FreterniaThe madness never seem to end
The sunset never looks the same again
The Evil one awaits to attack when the darkness falls
Maybe I am their saviour after all
Far away from light the shadowdancers smile
The legend of a hero will it come true
See our savior enter the darkness with no fear
See him disapear so far away from light
He is on the way to face the evil once again
This is his time a new hope in his mind
Seems like the end is near will the darkness dissapear
Thousands of dreams to fulfill awaiting the moment of truth
Something is watching
Living in darkness
Sence his cold eyes
Somewhere in the deep black woods
Cold dark memories from a distant time
A life in the real world is not meant for his kind
Possesing the knowledge of what he should do to find his way to the
heartless ones
Spirits and souls from an ancient time protecting his mind revealing the
lies
Where does it end will it be revealed for him to know
As time goes by the evil spirit will grow strong
Far away in the distant dream
A world is preparing to see
See our savior enter the darkness with no fear
See him dissapear so far away from light
He is on the way to face the evil once again
This is his time a new hope in his mind
Darkness around echoes of pain a wasteland of evil made shattered dreams
Noone makes sence a world full of lies the wisdom is gone I can not go on
Legend fortold of a man to be strong to destroy all the evil with one single
punch
With a heart made of stone it could not go wrong but how often does
fairytales come true?
Far away from light the shadowdancers smile
The legend of a hero will it come true
See our savior enter the darkness with no fear
See him dissapear so far away from light
He is on the way to face the evil once again
This is his time a new hope in his mind
The eldars fire burns of hope
Like a storm of wisdom they're watching the show
Grimbors treasure it all is on stake
