My parents called me Basic.
Little Fortran walks into the living room.
“Mom, dad. I have something important I need to tell you, but I’m scared you’ll be mad at me”
“We’ll still love you no matter what honey.”
“OK, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I need to come out and say it. Mom and dad, I’m a frontend developer”
“WHAT we will not tolerate that sort of degeneracy in this house young man! Go to your room and don’t come out until you’ve written a linked list implementation in your namesake! And no more talk of this front end stuff”
But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.
My son is also named Fortran.

Assigned System/370 Operator At Birth
I had a friend in Argentina whose father was a Fortran programmer and teach him it since he was a kid. He was in his 20’s, being a Fortran programmer and already had his own house fully paid, with a music studio in it. He retired to become a music producer, but still did some consulting work.
Good luck little Fortran, hope you can learn and enjoy your work.
