We can't even move past FORTRAN and Cobol, let alone C/++.

Why would we want to move away from them? Fortran is VERY good at what it is intended for (implementing formulas in code).

Fortran added the most important OO feature, methods bound to types, around 2003. Therefore, it is a more modern object oriented language than C++, in the sense that the object oriented features were Frankensteind on more recently. So maybe we could move past C++ to it.
