Fortran very much in use.
It is also extensively used for new code, especially in the HPC
community.
Fortran 95 and F ( a clean subset of Fortran ) continue to attract
hundreds of millions of dollars in new development.
The Fortran 2003 specification draft has been finalised and is available
at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/kis/support/cit//fortran/john_reid_new_2003.pdf

There is far more to love in Ada than in Fortan 2003. However, "obsolete like Fortan" can be a compliment :-) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
