I think the demise of FORTRAN is overstated. That there is an X3 group
still advancing the language attests to that. While FORTRAN may be a
60-year old language, Fortran is not.
As far as assembly, I don't believe that it's a dead language. When you
need simple, rugged, low-power hardware, it's still a very good way to go.
