[Glug-nith-discuss] why fortran is still a good choice

[Goudar Vishwanathappa Manu]

I use FORTRAN for coding computational fluid dynamics problems and
some people recently said that C/C++ are faster so i was thinking to
shift. But after reading these pages I felt I was doing wrong and came
to know why still Fortran is better than C/C++.
Fortran is still a good programming language for Numerical analysis.
Even it has many optimised in-built linear algebra functions which
make programmer's life easy.
