I would like to see this discussion move from "IS Fortran or C better"
to "WILL Fortran or C BE better" in the future on emerging new
architectures, particularly the massively paralel ones - both MIMD and
SIMD. How do the efforts to respresent parallelism in C compare to
those expressed by Fortran90?
