Why do we still use Fortran at our A.I. company

May 25, 2024

In the fast-evolving world of programming, one might be surprised to find Fortran still holding its ground firmly. According to the TIOBE Programming Community Index of May 2024, Fortran remarkably ranks as the 10th most popular programming language worldwide. This statistic is not just a testament to its capabilities but also to its adaptability in various scientific and engineering domains.

Even though we are an A.I. company, we still use Fortran. Here’s why.

Fortran is known for being very reliable. It does exactly what you expect it to do, which is really important for us because we work with a lot of exact calculations and big data. This reliability helps us when we are working on complex problems, making sure that our solutions are accurate and dependable.

Even though there are many new programming languages with cool features, Fortran is still unbeatable for certain tasks. It’s great at handling big calculations fast and efficiently, which is very helpful for the kind of work we do.

We like using Fortran because it makes our work clear and straightforward. While it's important to keep up with new technologies, we believe in using the best tool for the job, even if it's a traditional one like Fortran.

In conclusion, while Neuralio A.I. remains at the forefront of A.I., we hold a deep respect for the foundational technologies that have shaped the current landscape of computation. Fortran, with its history and important role in the development of many modern scientific processes, continues to be a cornerstone in our programming toolkit. The combination of pioneering AI technologies with classical programming languages like Fortran not only enriches our solutions but also grounds our innovations in reliable methodologies.
