That's ridiculous, you can make a C++ class and overload operator() like Eigen to easily make a multi-dimensional array.

What is different to fortran's multi-dimensional arrays? The interface can be almost identical and the memory layout in C++ can be whatever you want it to be.

By that reasoning, all turing-complete languages support multi-dimensional arrays.

I don't think every turing complete language lets you create an interface and memory layout that would be identical to fortran.
