So everybody doesn't have to go watch it, here is a shortened version of
what Steele said in the video:
Although Fortress is originally designed as an object-oriented framework in
which to build an array-style scientific programming language, [...] as we've

Pretty interesting links, thanks.
Unfortunately, if Fortress is to have any chance of success with
programmers, it will need to be straight-line and essentially have
Algol-based syntax.
MATLAB, LabVIEW, Fortran, Java, C, and non-OO C++/random subsets of
C++ rule scientific programming. Unit testi
Guy Steele did the keynote on parallelism [1] at the Strange Loop [2]
conference in which he said that he could do it over Fortress [3]
would have been modeled on Haskell rather than Fortran. The relevant
portions are between 49:36 - 49:50. Thought it might interest readers
of this list.
