After reflection though, I've started to wonder about the wisdom of my choice. Specifically (like RGB), I love the GSL library, and extending GSL to fortran in an intro class is non-trivial. Additionally, most vendors supply "fast" hardware libraries in C (I may be ignorant, but if a student wants to call an AMD ACML fast-math function( http://developer.amd.com/acml.jsp), or write a linear algebra function to run on a graphics card(http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda.html <http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda.html>), the vendors seem to assume that you'll write the code in C).
For these specific points, couldn't you use the ISO C-binding feature of Fortran 2003 ? I do not know off-hand whether g95 implements it (but I think it does). It's also part of gfortran 4.3.0 (not released yet, but only months away).
