You're right.

In the 70s I wrote an accounts receivable system, a disassembler and a terminal emulator in FORTRAN because that was only compiler we had on the platform. It didn't mean the software was lousy; it just meant you had to adjust your way of doing things. No punched cards on those projects though.
