Fortran is in a weird spot. It's incredible for writing the hardest parts of the programs it's used for, but it honestly sucks for doing the "boring" parts. Doing heavy vectorized workloads in Fortran is nice, but doing I/O, organizing code, using any data structure that isn't essentially an array of some sort, etc. all suck.
