"Matlab truly is the language of engineering."

Fortran was the language of engineering long before Matlab.

But I doubt it's even taught at engineering colleges anymore.

I doubt [FORTRAN]'s even taught at engineering colleges anymore.

For good reason. FORTRAN was my first fluency. I used to say that I made a very nice living for five years knowing only VMS FORTRAN and Huygen's Principle. I still get drawn into reverse engineering someone's FORTRAN mess from time to time, but only the only good reason for using FORTRAN anymore is job security, no one else will ever want to "own" your code.
