Just for the record, Fortran is very much alive and kicking. It's actually a

I am hoping that a fortran 2008 compiler will come out soon and that has object
oriented paradigms. Maybe part of the problem is the lack of a
cheap/free/accessible compiler for windows as the intel compiler rather
expensive, but HPC is much more linux/unix based anyway.
I agree that Fortran is alive and kicking. I still have some Fortran77
