Who knows, in ten years we may see a merge of fortran and c into a

Existing compilers do inline Fortran into C, it's needed for some of
the SPEC benchmarks which mix C with Fortran77 numerical routines.
I don't see much point in having both languages in the same source

Me neither, actually. Although there might be some point in developing
a new language that smoothly merges the desireable features of both.
