So, I'm an aspiring aerospace engineer, and miraculously (seemingly) my mom sat beside a current aero engineer on her plane ride today. She said that, while "modern" languages are nice, she (and other engineers, apparently) is still using Fortran. I was under the impression that such a dinosaur was, for all intents and purposes, dead.<br /><br />So, does anything think that the engineering community in general would still be using Fortran? Do you think it would be worth learning? If so, anyone know any resources for it (I haven't had a chance to check our Resources section, but I'm doubtful since we don't have a forum for it....) for the web or otherwise that might help me get a leg up on it?
