Is Fortran the Best Programming Language? Asking ChatGPT By James ReindersIs
Guest contributor James Reinders concludes his “interview” with ChatGPT focusing on Fortran (greatest programming language ever?) and exploring what the next steps for chatbots will be.
I recently wrote about my experience with interviewing ChatGPT here. As promised, in this follow-on and conclusion of my interview, I focus on Fortran and other languages.
All in good fun. I hope you enjoy the conclusion of my interview. After my programming language questions, I conclude with a few notes about ChatGPT writing programs, and other chatbots creating book covers for us.

The Current State of Underwater Farming Looks Ready for Simulation. The Nemo’s Garden project has been in motion for a decade now—since 2012, when inspiration struck Sergio Gamberini while he was on vacation. The idea to build underwater farming structures was born from thinking about the best possible conditions for growing basil.The ambitious goal of Nemo’s Garden is to “create an alternative system of agriculture, especially dedicated to those areas where environmental conditions, economical or morphologic reasons make plant growth extremely difficult.

Future Facilities calls itself a digital twin company that offers an array of different options for companies to model and monitor data centers. The 6SigmaET division of the company, however, has another focus: thermal simulation of electronics components. 6SigmaET was born in 2009 and built around a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. The new Release 16 of 6SigmaET has several improvements related to faster solutions and better visual representation of those solutions.
