I don't get the sense that they are except in some segments of programming. Do you have any reference that would show that they are deprecated?
And Fortran is much bigger than scipy.
- santiagobasulto 4y agoI do know that Fortran is a lot bigger than Scipy, I was just mentioning that it's "so important and relevant (still)" that it powers the whole "Data Science" Python world. I have no sources for my claim, just complete gut feeling. I'd bet my lunch that there are more new systems started in Java than COBOL. But I'm happy to be proven wrong and fast until dinner :)
