on the subject of fortran’s language, i remember hearing tell of a French version. anyone ever meet any?


Never heard of a French version of Fortran, but you may have been confused
with LSE (Langage Symbolique d'Enseignement, aka Symbolic Language for
Education), which was a BASIC variant with French keywords.


The Multics Pascal compiler has a "-french" option which maps all of the keywords to French.

Some examples from "pascal_french_keywords.gi.info":

English             French
-------             ------
$export             $exporte
array               tableau
file                fichier
otherwise           autrement
unpack              detasser
