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

That is Ok.
There is far more to love in Ada than in Fortan 2003.
However, "obsolete like Fortan" can be a compliment :-)
