The rumours of Fortran's death are greatly exaggerated.
People still write new code these days in Fortran for scientific computation. Fortran compilers are still markedly better at optimizing numerics, multi-dimensional arrays, etc, partially because of the effort invested in the compilers and partially because the language is easier to optimize.
It's definitely a niche language.
