f90 introduced recursion and allocatable (dynamically sized) arrays.
So (in reference to tombert's comment), f90 and beyond doesn't have those limitations. It also introduced conveniences like operator overloading and element-wise array operations, so I think it's a really simple/convenient language for basic scientific computing, if you want to code up some algorithm.
That said, I always reach for Julia instead.
