I’ve actually met him. Pretty chill guy, but is completely confused by his Internet fame.

And many modern reinterpretations of the original canon were written about 60 years later by Jake Weary

So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!

Little Fortran walks into the living room.

“Mom, dad. I have something important I need to tell you, but I’m scared you’ll be mad at me”

“We’ll still love you no matter what honey.”

“OK, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I need to come out and say it. Mom and dad, I’m a frontend developer”

“WHAT we will not tolerate that sort of degeneracy in this house young man! Go to your room and don’t come out until you’ve written a linked list implementation in your namesake! And no more talk of this front end stuff”

My son is also named Fortran.

We need more “Fortran” license plates in the gift shop.

When I named my children I made sure to choose names that can always be found in kitschy gift shop items.
