Current versions of gfortran support (most of?) Fortran 95.
i'm hoping that eventually there will be good languages
for scientists to use, but given that many C/C++ users migrated
to Java, perhaps the traffic is quite often in the wrong direction.
more seriously, what are the statistics for the use of programming
systems in scientific applications?
Hopefully, when I finish it, my hoc will be both a mathematical and a
scientific haven. Sure, it can't compute the atomic mass of an up
quark, but it can eventually be used to calculate orbits of far-away
planetary bodies (once I learn calculus :-))
