Most serious implementations of BLAS are not implemented in Fortran
anymore. With respect to this conversation it might be worth noting
that BLAS is a standard with many different implementations. Fortran
compilers still exist because there are very large, very important codes
with huge budgets that are implemented in Fortran.
