> Unlike Python, Fortran hasn't seen an increase in usage and hasn't brought the joy(?) of programming to thousands of new programmers in the last 10 years. SciPy has Fortran code under the hood: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/search?l=FORTRAN&utf8=%E2%9C%93 https://github.com/scipy/scipy/search?l=FORTRAN&utf8=%E2%9C%... Both SciPy and NumPy use LAPACK - a Fortran library. SciPy also uses BLAS - another Fortran library. So every time you praise Python for being useful for scientific work, you're actually praising Fortran and C libraries/modules wrapped in Python.
