Fortran is very well suited for highly parallalized workloads, given that all HPC tasks are basically parallelized matrix manipulations. For some reason people have the notion that Fortran is still the punch-card days, but Fortran 08 is in fact widely used and quite friendly nowadays. If you're building a very-parallel application that could use something like MPI, you should very seriously consider Fortran.
