No, FORTRAN has absolutely nothing to do with D. C, on the
other hand, does. Both druntime and Phobos depend heavily on
the C stdlib. The GC uses malloc/free, std.stdio.File is a
wrapper around FILE*, etc.

Irrelevant. For all I care druntime could be implemented in
Klingon. That doesn't mean its API needs to include Klingon as
well. That's called "encapsulation".
