Given that books from/about first decade of computer engineering already mention FORTRAN…

Nah, that shit is not going to get you laid.

Most Physicists still use it for simulations if they need to be fast and python for everything else.

Fortran is a surprisingly nice language now and easy to pick up. String manipulation is very poor, however, and format statements for formatted printing are archaic. If you need a fast language for numerical work it is a very good option. Just be aware if you come to it from eg C that when iterating through a 2+ dimensional array you ought to address j first then i (assuming array(i,j) ) as the memory is laid out differently from C. Speaking of memory, pointers are a bit weird in Fortran but you very rarely need them anyway
