I ' m sold . Gimme the game , hand it over . <| sep |> Agree this is one of my favorites in the game . <| sep |> sadly they went with a card system for the unit abilitiesweapons . if it was more xcomlike I would be all over it . <| sep |> A domain where Fortran is still very relevant is supercomputing , where the only competitive options to it are C and C . For heavyduty number crunching , Fortran is still my weapon of choice it ' s closer to the math than C or C , allowing to write efficient numerical code more easily . For computations you can run on a desktop , postprocessing and such , I ' d use PythonNumpyScipy . Julia looks very interesting and I think it has the potential to surpass Python in scientific computing some day , but I don ' t think it ' s quite mature enough yet there are still lots of breaking changes on each version . Bottom line , Fortran is a very good choice for a certain type of code , but terrible for anything else .
