Very true. I would never use Fortran for an OS. From what I understand
compiler writers still prefer Fortran as its easier to vectorize. Thus
if you want best vector performance from your code Fortran is it, mainly
due to the easy of writing a compiler that can do so.
In the end use the tool that's best for the job. That's the moral of
the story.

Once C has native arrays and orders them properly, then we can talk :).
Yeah, like this. That's really the big difference, isn't it? Although
one can argue about just what "properly" really means... other than "in
the same order that Fortran orders them" ;-)

Maybe I'm being too serious but in the old days, Fortran was the
most mature, maintained compiler and the libraries were great,
then later, C had better compilers but the libraries were still
great. Now, I think the only good thing about Fortran is that
it's pretty easy to learn?
