How can I read a single character in fortran? How about a whole line? Why is this piece of shit language still used to teach courses in universities? (bad universities, surely).

>>14 let the student decide in which language to write his/her program, let it be C, OCaml, prolog, haskell, lisp, factor, pseudocode, whatnot.
The whole point of being student is that you don't have knowledge to decide. Moreover, in practice you will have no choice, because business may order you to write PHP, even if you learned Factor at uni.
