I do believe that a good case could be made for developing a language for
sicentific use to replace Fortran which does reflect the progress over the
last 30 years in language development, just don't call it fortran.

Such a language already exists. It is called C. If C were not designed for 
scientific programming, why would it have Bessel functions?
