I was surprised to find Fortran has continued to get regular upgrades every 5-10 years.
some interesting ones:
1995: "Initialization of pointers to NULL()"
2003: "Object-oriented programming support: type extension and inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic type allocation, and type-bound procedures, providing complete support for abstract data types"

If you doing nearly anything in physics, you have to know and use Fortran. (And, in fact, modern Fortran is not a bad language -- it is something like Matlab or Numpy, but much faster).
