Of course.  What else will they use all those punch cards for?  ;-)

Actually, yes it is still used.  There is an immense library of
scientific and engineering code written in it.  In fact I recall seeing
a few years back, a CD from NASA with lots of Fortran apps.

Incidentally, I took a Fortran course several years ago.  I never had
any reason to make use of it, but at that time a lot of software at work
was written in Fortran.  Because of this, I was able to use a VAX 11/780
to do my homework.  :-)
