At least on this newsgroup. Many of us have used Fortran ( I have both used it and taught it in college - I remember the difficulty in finding a text book I really liked, even back then) but it was a long time ago and memories fade. Any minute advantages that Fortran might have over C are overwhelmed by the lack of *current* expertise. Either stick with C or else choose a modern language as an alternative. From what I have seen, I don't think a different language will help you at all.
