You forgot to mention CUDA, which is trouncing Fortran, C, and C++ in performance and being adopted at a fast rate. Now, one could argue that CUDA is a dialect of C++, but it is much more than that.

CUDA is a special purpose language, the same way that, e.g., VHDL or Verilog are special purpose languages.

Those doing real HPC work really don't have a choice these days (they will be out competed otherwise), unless of course the problem isn't GPU friendly.
