I don't think it's going anywhere, too much existing code that's still useful. People STILL use Fortran 77 for goodness sake.

Fortran may still be used but is considered functionally dead nonetheless. Nobody is hiring Fortran devs anymore (and those who do put themselves in a really hard market position). Yet, learning C++ might still be a more valuable skill than learning Rust.

Yet, Fortran 2023 is the latest standard, and Fortran support is one of the reasons why CUDA won over OpenCL.

Fortran 77 is dead. Fortran is not, and yes, people still get hired to use it. Just maybe not in your field.
