Nothing is wrong with (modern) Fortran (2018), although I'd argue that everything is wrong with using FORTRAN (77) for numerical computing in the new millennium. On the contrary, modern Fortran (2003,2008,2018,202X) is still truly the best and most expressive language for numerical scientific computing.
