I've seen Fortran actually being used in a couple of projects where I didn't expect it to be, but those projects did use some advanced math — not advanced enough to truly justify it, but those pieces of software were relatively old, so it likely was there historically — maybe no one cared enough to reimplement those parts as you usually get a Fortran compiler with gcc anyway 🤷
