Chiming in for something unrelated. Fortran is actually pretty cool and if you need to do a lot of number crunching for scientific calculations starting a project in Fortran is not that bad. I started working on Fortran04 and back then I really couldn't see any advantage of c++ if we're talking computations. Now with Fortran23 we're talking about quite a modern language.

I mean, if you're considering Fortran for a project your only other likely choice is c++, and I tell you Fortran feels much smoother and easy to work with if you have to do calculations. I guess if you don't worry about it being new you could consider Julia, but for many applications Fortran still has its well deserved spot.
