Fortran is the ideal language for data-oriented programming. Ultimately that’s where performance is. I don’t see it trying to compete by creating a kind of graph-oriented language (besides pointers and somewhat barebones generics). You probably want a fancy higher-level language for this anyway.
It is evolving towards a great language for parallel HPC, integrating neatly both shared-memory and distributed computing in a very nice framework. Much better than the usual hodgepodge of OpenMP and MPI (or whatever API du jour NVIDIA or Intel happen to be pushing).
