Fortran is one I never dabbled in.  In college it was "sold" as more for
engineers.  I did dable in PASCAL a little 30+ years ago.  BASIC also, and
equally as long ago.

More recently (10 years) I took a class in Python.  It was also meant more
for engineers, I later figured out.

COBOL is more straight-forward. Define all your variables, maintain
structure for legibility, etc.  For my brain, it made more sense.
