I'm under 30 (just), and I like Fortran 90 for what we use it
for, numerical modelling. Its easy to write and read. In a wider
commercial sense, the integration with external libraries, GUIs
and the like seems key, and I can't see a future Fortran handling
that too well.
I only hope that Java will dominate in that market, so I needn't
uprate my C skills into C++, as I do dislike pointers.
