The Fortran and COBOL programming languages have both been around for a long time. Fortran was released around 1957, while COBOL followed a couple years later. Fortran has historically been mostly used for numerical and scientific calculations, while COBOL is primarily used by businesses.

∙ 12y agoBoth languages are still in use, and lots of legacy software were written in them. The language elements (terms, concepts, the good, bad, ugly ones) have great influence to most of the software developers today.
Fortran is primarily for scientific calculation (precision and accuracy is required), while Cobol is for commerical, banking, financial services (the C of Cobol stands for Commercial) industries. They are legacy, but foundations / backbones of current computing.
Have you heard of Y2K?
Have you ever wonder why an integer index is always named "i","j", "k", ..."n"?
Have you ever be told to put your declaration on top of any programming unit?
Do you hear "Subroutine, Function, Dimension, GO TO, Perform, Label,..." being used to explain some concepts in a computer language that does not have those terms / keywords? At least 1 question with answer "yes" from any experienced developer. The influence will be passed onto the next generation.

What language did Microsoft use as a basis of visual basic?
Alan Cooper, the 'father' of Visual Basic, shows a drag-and-drop shell prototype called Tripod to Bill Gates. Microsoft took over Tripod. That was the beginning of Visual Basic. She combined it with BASIC. BASIC is based on FORTRAN II and ALGOL. FORTRAN II was developed by IBM. So basically Visual Basic is written in ALGOL and FORTRAN II.
