As someone who's into programming, your article was a great read! It's fascinating to watch computer languages evolve over the years. You've been very clear in explaining FORTRAN and COBOL to me. Thanks for the knowledge you've shared!

My aim was to pack a huge amount of information into a single post. I am glad that you found pieces of it useful.
The languages FORTRAN, COBOL and BASIC were similar in form but addressed different markets. The C language is pretty much as straight up wrapper for assembler (aka object code) and can be used in all three scenarios.
