Not so much in experimental nuclear physics, or at least where I’ve done it; there was one guy at the lab I worked at who refused to learn any other language and used 20 year old analysis software from CERN but he was the exception.

What is interesting…ok FORTRAN is very powerful,but VERY touchy in the formatting department… Arduino code reminds me of FORTRAN…just less touchy and easier to compile. I have heard my company still runs FORTRAN on the mainframes…we used to do all our interactions via terminal (well actually we still can) but most things now have a web interface over the old terminal commands.
