Yeah, it was funny shit. I looked for COBOL, Fortran, and PL/I frameworks for some pranks on younger developers. I found, but never tried, COBOL ON COGS. Nothing on PL/I. However, you might like the Fortran find:
The linked tutorial for FastCGI was first I found. Later, saw that author on Hacker News sharing an updated version. I told him he needs to do a useful, small, web applications that a bunch of JS or Java programmers might like. Put the source on various places such as Github. Never mention it’s Fortran. Record the reactions. :)
