Many scientific programmers still use Fortran. I think that part of the
reason is that a lot of effort was put into making Fortran compilers
produce extremely efficient code. However if you are using gcc on
Linux, C should be just as good as Fortran (since the first thing the
Fortran compiler does is to convert the code into C).
Maybe efficient code, but I did a few F77 projects a while ago and found that
the language itself just sucks. My personal opinion, of course.
An opinion widely held by many (including me).
