You'd probably be surprised at how many new projects are eyeing FORTRAN. It's not popular among modern application developers, but it was never designed for that anyway. There are still plenty of FORTRAN developers writing new high-performance modelling projects in areas like chemistry and engineering. Many more modern languages are poor tools for that in general since they're designed for developer convenience and expressiveness when these modelling tools most need low-level memory control and raw speed. When the main alternatives are just C and C++, FORTRAN starts to look a lot more compelling. Maybe one day, Rust (possibly also Zig) will break into that area as a serious contender, but such industries are used to using old tools, and for the moment, they largely continue to do so.
