Well, it seems like Fortran is the most widely used in scientific apps (e.g. weather, ocean modeling) and is the most efficient and easy to program. More highly optimizable than C. So, it won't be going away anytime soon. Unfortunately, the "upgrades" to Fortran (77,90,95) tend to make the optimizing less, er, optimal.
