I'll take the bait. Please explain your signature.
Nothing exciting, I'm afraid. 80 characters.
Should be 72, Shirley?

I have written a quarter of a million (SWAG) lines of Fortran in my lifetime. If I never write another line I will be happy.� But I will write more Fortran next Tuesday.� Converting it all to C++ cannot come soon enough.

Ahh... but isn't it true that C++ is only for nerds? All the cool kids write rust these days!
Converting Fortran or C++ to Rust is non trivial.� I have actually considered it.� Shoot, converting Fortran to C++ is non trivial.
I would guess that a straight translation of Fortran to C++ could be >automated. However, there doesn't seem to be any point in it unless
you're going to make use of the object-oriented capabilities of C++.
Then, of course, you're looking at a complete refactoring, which would, >indeed, be non-trivial.
I'm not too keen on trusting an automated translation of what I think
Lynn has said is a couple of million lines of code
I had to clean up after an automated conversion of something much
smaller and it wasn't fun
