"Fortran is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language
that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering
applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and
has been in continual use in computationally intensive areas such as climate
modeling, computational fluid dynamics(CFD), computational physics, and
computational chemistry for half a century."
