That would have been an interesting scoop. The current Fortran is in
fact Fortran 95. (It was approved in 1995 November, so Ada 95 is a few
months older.)
Work is in progress to make Fortran 2000 suitable for serious object-oriented
programming. (How successfully? Wait and see... Some of us are already
unhappy that neither generics nor exceptions will make it into Fortran this
time around.)
