"Some of them will never stop using Fortran, ever, until they die." In my opinion, Fortran (meaning Fortran 90/95/03/08) gives both the ease of native array syntax, like matlab, and leaner than NumPy, and the speed of compiled language (like C, somewhat faster), and the safety of a typed language. For numerical computing with lots of 2-, 3-, or 4-dimensional arrays, I don't really see any other language to be on par with Fortran.
