Worse case scenario, he tried to add JS libraries to the ancient Fortran code.
Rofl, and now you need a toolchain of biblical extent to compile it all. Webpack, npm, rollup, ts, etc.
And it takes 16G of memory and 512G of disk space to compile.
npm install fortran
Please, have some standards.
He wouldn't want to get his young tech bro hands dirty with Fortran. Surely there are cross-compilers that will translate your mission-critical payments Fortran to JS, maybe with an intermediate Rust and/or TS step. Fortran -> TS -> Rust -> JS, or similar, it would be quite a feat to behold. Never mind testing (that would be "wasteful" and "inefficient"), just push to prod and sit back and watch then chaos unfold, then blame it all on Biden and, I dunno, Bill Gates maybe.
He can't blame Russian hackers, so Chinese hackers it is.
