Why? I really didn't mean that as a joke. FORTRAN means "FORmula TRANslator" and that is exactly what it does. And that is exactly what a programmable calculator is (usually) used for. Programs are easy to read and understand (an important feature for engineers like myself) and all the "exotic" data types are already there. Like double precision complex, which I used a lot many years back.
So much that most of my FORTRAN routines would have "IMPLICIT DOUBLE PRECISION COMPLEX (A-H,O-Z)" as their first line. I would have given an arm and a leg in those days for a FORTRAN capable pocket calculator!
