I do know that FORTRAN is considered the fastest scientific computing language; beating out C++.
I'm told that is because the standard libraries are so optimized.
Also, there is a gigantic infrastructure of literature, algorithms and support for the language. It is also relatively easy for folks that don't code for a living to use.
I wouldn't know, from experience. The last time I had anything to do with FORTRAN was in 1987, and I don't miss it one bit.
