  19. StM comments, "There's nothing wrong with using FORTRAN, as long as you're
  20. doing number crunching (and as long as you remember that the FIRST index of an
  21. array steps you through contiguous memory).  Now, if you're doing anything with
  22. complicated data structures, C lends itself more easily to that."
