The article says "Stuart E. Madnick, a computer science professor at MIT." Got to MIT's EECS web site and he is nowhere to be found. Where is he? In the School of Management. His home page claims "Expertise: Database and information integration technologies, impact of information technologies, Internet applications"
Everyone I know doing scientific supercomputing, including myself, still uses Fortran. The Top 500 Supercomputers http://www.top500.org/ are measured with a Linpack benchmark in Fortran.
