If you are starting from scratch fortran is a bad choice. However if you have a fortran project that keeps getting more features you may become an amazon clone along the way

I was of course being facetious mentioning fortran but given a choice between working with an amazing group of people on a project which has a completely wrong tech/frameworks/... stack for the job at hand (e.g. fortran to built an e-commerce website) vs. working with average/subpar team utilizing some amazing stack, I'd choose the former any day of the week and twice on Sunday
