I get frustrated with C all the time for being fundamentally a 70s language. It may be I'm about to learn the pain of using a *50s language*.
(Alternately, I hear modern FORTRAN has all kinds of fancy niceties like operator overloading and might not resemble traditional FORTRAN all that much. But then I have the problem if I pick up a random tutorial it's hard to guess which *decade's* standard it's teaching me from, or if it's the GNU extension, if the GNU extension is that different, etc.)
