Choice of programming language

Hi,

I was wondering what the programming language of preference currently
is for numerical integration work. Particularly for long time length
integrations such as in solar system dynamics where you might be
expected to integrate over perhaps 10^9 time steps and consume
considerable cpu time.

It has been some time since I did any of this so it may be a naive
question.

In the past it seemed that Fortran was the preferd language but was
wondering whether C++ or even Java would seriously be considered, and
if not, why not.

Thanks

.
