ArsTechnica has an interesting article featured today about scientific computing and the
enduring role played by the Fortran programming language . The article explores three potential challengers to the dominance of
Fortran in scientific computing including
Haskell ,
Clojure , and
Julia . One of the main points made by the article is that support for existing Fortran and C libraries is essential as is support for concurrent (parallel) algorithms. Will Fortran rule scientific computing forever or will a challenger usurp the thrown?
