Fortran 2008 is modern object-oriented programming language that is designed for computational efficiency. It is highly suited for scientific and engineering applications, and is the programming language most aerospace engineers should be using (but aren't).
Most engineers today have been mislead into believing that C and Matlab are superior to Fortran, in spite of the fact that C is a horrible unintuitive monstrosity and Matlab code runs about as fast as an 80-year old snail. Engineers are sometimes told that C++ is the programming language of the future, so they will sometimes try to start learning it. They soon discover that the C++ syntax is an unholy nightmare designed by Sauron, they quickly retreat back to C.
