Fortress programming language |

|
Fortress should be Sun's successor for the Fortran programming language.
The language is not designed to be similar to Fortran. Fortress is a scientific language especially constructed for very large HPC systems (tens of thousands of processors, petabytes of memory).
The focus is on applying dynamic compilation to high productivity computation. Syntactically, it most resembles Scala, Standard ML, and Haskell. Fortress is also designed to be both highly parallel and have as much functionality contained within libraries, drawing from Java but taken to a higher degree.
