In The Programming Languages Podcast, Lucas and Luna move past syntax flame wars to examine the actual trade-offs behind Python, Rust, JavaScript, and the modern coding stack. Each episode dissects a specific language feature, framework choice, or ecosystem shift — from Rust's borrow checker and memory safety guarantees to JavaScript's type system evolution with TypeScript, and Python's dominance in machine learning versus its performance bottlenecks. They ground every discussion in real-world benchmarks, open-source projects like Deno and PyPy, and case studies from companies that bet on one language over another. Lucas brings the reporter's instinct for clarity and hard numbers; Luna tests those findings with the engineer's skepticism and hands-on experience. You will walk away understanding not just what a language does, but why it was designed that way, and when you should — or shouldn't — use it. What does Rust's ownership model teach us about concurrency? Is JavaScript's flexibility a feature or a bug for large-scale systems? Can Python ever overcome the GIL? This is the podcast for develo…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:17:13.477755+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-programming-languages-podcast-with-fexingo-python-rust-javascript-and-modern-coding-7872026"},"episode":{"title":"How Fortran Still Powers High-Performance Computing in 2026","slug":"how-fortran-still-powers-high-performance-computing-in-2026","published_at":"2026-07-12T22:25:57+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-programming-languages-podcast-with-fexingo-python-rust-javascript-and-modern-coding-7872026/how-fortran-still-powers-high-performance-computing-in-2026","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-programming-languages-podcast-with-fexingo-python-rust-javascript-and-modern-coding-7872026","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-programming-languages-podcast/episode-0107.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-programming-languages-podcast/episode-0107.mp3","summary":"When we think of modern programming, Fortran doesn't come to mind. But in 2026, Fortran remains a cornerstone of high-performance computing, especially in weather simulation, physics modeling, and scientific research. Lucas and Luna dive into why Fortran persists: its unmatched array syntax, decades of optimized libraries, and the sheer cost of rewriting validated code. They discuss real examples like the ECMWF weather model and the U.S. National Weather Service, where Fortran code from the 1970s still runs in production. They also cover modernization efforts like Fortran 2018 and Coarray Fortran for parallel computing. If you think Fortran is dead, this episode will change your mind. #Fortran #HighPerformanceComputing #ProgrammingLanguages #Technology #ScientificComputing #WeatherSimulation #ECMWF #NationalWeatherService #LegacyCode #Fortran2018 #CoarrayFortran #NumericalWeatherPrediction #HPC #SoftwareEngineering #Coding #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"When we think of modern programming, Fortran doesn't come to mind.
