Fortran is the most widely used programming language in the world for numerical applications. It has achieved this position partly by being on the scene earlier than any of the other major languages and partly because it seems gradually to have evolved the features which its users, especially scientists and engineers, found most useful. In order to retain compatibility with old programs, Fortran has advanced mainly by adding new features rather than by removing old ones. The net result is, of course, that some parts of the language are, by present standards, rather archaic: some of these can be avoided easily, others can still be a nuisance.

Java has been with us for seven years now and has made phenomenal inroads into the world of system, business, internet and educational programming. As demonstrated by presentations made at conferences such as JavaGrande, its influence extends also into scientific and high performance computing, specifically in parallel and distributed applications [11]. The reason for Java being used by these latter communities is that it has something to offer over and above the languages currently in use – chiefly Fortran, Visual Basic and C/C++.
