Ada 95 is certainly better than the obsolete Fortran 77. Fortran 90
is a much more modern language, can do many of the things that Ada
can do, and certainly is an alternative to Ada worth considering even
when writing new code. While Ada 95 has a much cleaner overall design,
and object orientation, Fortran 90 (and especially HPF/Fortran 95) has a
clear edge over Ada in compiler availability, high performance and
automatic vectorization and paralleization.
Tossing Fortran 77 in favour of either Fortran 90 or Ada 95 is a
Good Thing.
