I've always been curious, not ever having used Fortran - what is it about that language that makes it run such mathematical stuff so well ?
Is it just that they have a very well written and optimised math library ? Is it something about how they organise and process data? Is there something fundamental to the language syntax that makes for speed ? Or is it just that it has lots of built in well optimised matrix/vector style commands? And if so - arent there possibly C++ libraries that do exactly the same ?
