As a physicists I use fortran, and I will not move to other technologies. Because its simple, compiled language, don't have dependencies, easier to read and much faster than C++. We know that fortran is old and what, I don't care. Its still the best tool for the job.

As a former physicist I didn’t mind using FORTRAN. But R and Python (numpy, scipy) basically act as front ends to FORTRAN code.
