As part of my job, I have been writing a lot of Fortran lately,
and I notice that Fortran has a lot of great features that are
missing from Python. For example, Fortran's three-way IF statement
is obviously better than Python's two way "if". And the Fortran
common block has the ability to modify any item by using out-of-bounds
array references, without having to worry about pesky type mismatches.
And have I mentioned the versatile GOTO statement, and its convenient
alternative spellings "GO TO" and "GO TO"?
In fact, I plan to write up another PEP on features which need to
be added to Python based on the only real [wo]mans programming
language, namely Fortran. It should be done any day as soon
as I come up for air and have t*/e to t>^~k of al& the f@#tu!es
