Fortunately the 029 punch machines have been gone for a bit (40 years). However, I do miss the 029 punch cards because they are good for taking notes and they fit perfectly in a button down shirt pocket. Fortran has morphed into a modern language with support for recursion, dynamic memory allocation, pointers, data structures, interface blocks, modules, and more. It is still doing the heavy lifting for most things scientific.
