From Wikipedia:

"It is the primary language for some of the most intensive super-computing tasks, such as in astronomy, climate modeling, computational chemistry...and weather prediction. It is a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers".

Pretty cool, will check it out further. Do you know if there are any simulators available?

I haven't used Fortran within the last decade or so, but I should think the easiest way to use it would be the gfortran compiler (GNU Fortran compiler), perhaps with an IDE such as Photran (based on Eclipse), the "Modern Fortran" extension for VS Code, or "CBFortran" - the "FortranProject" plug-in for Code::Blocks.
