Description
Fortran unlocked our ability to perform realistic simulations of the Universe, including the formation and interaction of galaxies, stars and planets. In this short talk I will present lessons learnt from 20 years of developing Fortran simulation and visualisation codes for astrophysical fluid dynamics. This will consist of an unsorted list of praise, gripes and wishes for the underlying language and how we can coordinate its ongoing development to persist as the bedrock of fast, reliable astrophysical simulation codes.
