Or by modern Fortran, which has had array operations since the 1990 standard? There are functional elements such as PURE functions and the FORALL construct.

I've always felt that it was a bit of a shame that Fortran is falling by the wayside nowadays, a lot of universities are teaching C++ (or even C) instead now and it just isn't as pleasant to use for scientific computing work.
