Kinda off-topic, but when I was doing data analysis at CERN we were all finding it very difficult to work with the very cranky FORTRAN code that was written by the experiment and many other people through the years.
I wrote this proposal for my experiment, that we redo our software in C++:

the experiment didn't feel it was the right time for that, being near the end of the run, but I think I might have raised a little consciousness of good software practice both from my visit there and from writing the proposal.
What sort of state is high-energy physics software in nowadays? I think the Gismo toolkit I spoke about in my paper never got finished. Is cheetah used for data interchange?
