just how bad is Fortran?

[Rick Hawkins <rhawkins@iastate.edu>]

As i prepare to launch back into coding, is anyone familiar with just
how bad the Fortran support is?  or is that all a myth?

I really need as much performance as I can get, and the low level stuff
in c/c++ is gross overkill for my usage.  The low-level stuff built into
other languages took about 2/3 of my time.

So is g77 or something else usable, or do I need to go to a c?
