Please excuse my ignorance, I knew FORTRAN was widely used decades ago but had no idea it remains an important programming language.

From Wikipedia:

"It is the primary language for some of the most intensive super-computing tasks, such as in astronomy, climate modeling, computational chemistry...and weather prediction. It is a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers".

Pretty cool, will check it out further. Do you know if there are any simulators available?
