Fortran Magnets

Description: Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, FORTRAN came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics, crystallography, and computational chemistry. It is a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers.

Description: A vintage representation of a punched card with the IBM logo and "FORTRAN STATEMENT" text at the top. The main body of the card features rows of small black dots indicating punched holes, arranged in a pattern consistent with programming code.

Description: A black rectangular emblem with a thick white border. Inside the emblem, the word 'FORTRAN' is displayed in large, white, sans-serif capital letters. The text is centered within the black rectangle.

Description: A vintage-style graphic featuring the word "fortran" in a retro sunset gradient. Below it is a representation of a punch card with numerous holes. Underneath the punch card, in distressed block letters, is the text "THE ORIGINAL HANGING CHAD".

Description: This is a punch card with an older style.It reads "IBM" at the top left. The text "IBSM SUDENURET COPLC AND THTINE FAB6T" and a sequence of numbers is printed above the punched area. Below that, it says "PRINT "HELLO WORLD"" and "FORTRAN STATOINS" near the button.

Description: A simple shirt with the name of a simple language. Those who are in the know, know what it signifies.

Description: Dynamic collage featuring Hayato Asurada in his racing helmet, Claire Fortran, Osamu Sugō, and the iconic Cyber Formula car.

Description: Perfect for the vintage programmer!

Description: ...their repos just get archived. Hah! You wish! Instead you get to maintain those repos for the duration of your career too.

Description: Remember Fortran? Remember when it was all capitals "FORTRAN"? No? Huh, well in the times before we used to program on punch cards...no wait where are you going!?

Description: If you are a programmer who writes code in FORTRAN, specifically FORTRAN 77, you must be a true programming veteran. Show off your long-time computing experience with this college sport style design. Fortran is an imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Fortran exists in different versions, like FORTRAN 77, which is shown on this distressed design with a red college style font.

Description: The most basic rule or programming. RIGHT?

Description: I got interested in the lineage of programming languages once and made a greatly abbreviated family tree. Most of our modern languages ultimately descend from Fortran or FLOW-MATIC (and their typically machine-specific languages). I've obviously left out many of the dialects (like CoffeeScript) and standards-update versions (like C++17).
