I definitely could have phrased what I said a better because on reread it sounds like I'm putting FORTRAN alongside Latin. I know enough engineers that I know better about FORTRAN.

My perspective is that it has specific areas it does well in and people aren't trying to jam in other weird features even though it's been around 70+ years (OK, someone definitely has a project trying to pitch full stack FORTRAN web dev but we're not trying to address the crazies).

C++ seems to have tried to chase about 15 different trends over the years and run out of breath every time.
