That is too late You CAN'T start with a developer that, hopefully, do good code. You MUST make good code to be the default, from the start. Is the only chance of lasting improvements.
ie: Is necessary a "Rust/Ada for Fortran", and this ALSO must make, somehow, make some significant impact in current Fortran developers, make them salivate for the chance of do the change.
But iterate on Fortran(C/C++..) and hope that will be better? NEVER will work.
