Not as I remember.
AFAIR FORTRAN IV was in use when I first used it.

FORTRAN  typing will also be a source of amusement to modern youth.
Variables beginning I...M were implicitly declared as constants
unless explicitly declared otherwise.
All other start letters made variables REAL unless explicitly declared
otherwise.

And more:

The above reference states that constants cannot be altered. Which may
or may not be true for the variant he is talking about.

FWIW, Gargoyles spilling chucker doesn't know about the word FORTRAN
Hmm. Lets's see.
BASIC COBOL PASCAL ADA LISP MODULA  BCSP JAL  APL PLM
(Basic and lisp are unfair tests).
Names from Modula on are unknown.
