FYI:
I started programming assembly in 2025 for 6592 and Z80 cpus and believe me: it is fun and IMO actually easier then lets say learning Haskell or JS from scratch.
Assemblers with macros are amazingly simple.

You’re missing my point. I’m not criticising FORTRAN nor assembly. I’m saying that people wouldn’t have created C, Java, Python, Pascal, BASIC, and so on and so forth if everyone said “why bother creating a new language when we already have something perfectly good here”
