Lots of libraries available for all kinds of scientific work that require supercomputers to be useful.
Also, I've been told that FORTRAN makes it easier to write fast scientific code than C due to pointer aliasing (or something in those lines).

- greenshackle2 7y agoPointer aliasing is not valid in FORTRAN, so the compiler has the freedom to make some optimizations that a C compiler can't.
