When a job I'm interested in uses a language I haven't used before I say that I've learned a couple already and I'll quickly learn the next one. I'd generally say each additional language has been easier than the last. I've landed contracts to code in languages I didn't know and got positive feedback about my performance.
Is there anything unique about Fortran that prevents experienced engineers from quickly learning it on the job?
