Review title: Fortran is dead and this book can not revive it
Product review: On the verge of the 21st century, FORTRAN as a language is practically dead, since it does not offer modern programming facilities and features commonly found in newer languages.With the user base declining in quantity and quality (Misha Kagalenko sets a vivid example of the decline in quality), new books on Fortran, especially those that provide essentially no new information to the readers, are almost doomed to fail.To expound a little more on the example of Kagalenko, his remarks about relative performance of FORTRAN compared to C++ show outstanding ignorance about the state of contemporary computing.
