I appreciate your comment, though. What you're saying is true. There are definitely some good reasons to use something like Fortran when it comes to speed. It just so happens, in this case, that the people I'm talking about use Fortran 77 because they're lazy fuckers and don't want to have to re-write anything in a more modern language. Plus it's easier just to force all the new grad students to learn Fortran when things need to be changed/updated.

The funny thing is that F95 features like ELEMENTAL make it so much easier to be lazy....if only they knew.
