Re: Choice of programming language

It's still mostly Fortran, with some C/C++. New codes are likely to be
Fortran 90/95 rather than Fortran 77. What's likely is that the
numerical part is Fortran and the simulation or modeling framework that
poses the problem is C++. Nobody does serious numerical computation in
Java. It sucks for that, it's too slow.
