Is Fortran dead???

I see there is no , well, nothing for fortran here. What is so special about it? I hear there are some fortran lovers still alive, but is it dead?

    Well, it isn't dead, but it's too old for the "new generation" - I think.

    Heh...earlier this year a physicist working on a computing project for his degree showed up in my room (I'm doing a degree too, but computer science) and showed me some FORTRAN code that he'd written and asked why it didn't work... Well, I managed to cobble together a solution with some guesswork. But it seems what keeps Fortran alive is NAG - the numerical analysis group libraries - which is just what physicists modelling stuff want I guess...
