FORTRAN remains a major computer language in the physical sciences. In fact, most massively parallel work on national supercomputers is done in FORTRAN. Of course, such work will not be done on an Amiga, but I am very comfortable with the language, and small numerical tasks are quickly and efficiently coded and accomplished with this language.
I learned (or was in the process of learning) Fortran77 on a Cray Y-MP/2E back in 1991 as part of a high school project. Was pretty neat. That was at the same time I was being taught COBOL and RPG-II on an IBM System/34. Ugly stuff :-)
