I haven't programmed for a living in several decades now, but I wonder if current programming languages are more forgiving of errors than old languages like FORTRAN and COBOL.

Indeed, there is not much difference - modern programming languages are still picky when it comes to parentheses, brackets and semi-colons.

The only difference might be graphical programming languages like Squeak, which are used for educational purposes, but not by "real programmers".

But thanks to text editors you don't have to re-type the whole card ;-)
