Fortran will normally be chosen over C for numerical performance, the reasons being stricter pointer aliasing rules within loops and LAPACK.

Isn't that why they added restrict in C99?

Right, but Fortran (F77 even) still has momentum and libraries in its niche.

Fortran is verbose.

Symta:

{mod W BSize | pos? = error "Sorry, grid size must be a multiple of $BSize"}


Fortran:

  if(mod(w,bsize) /= 0) then
     write(error_unit,'(a,i2)') 'Sorry, grid size must be a multiple of',bsize
     stop
  end if
