Meteorologists.

My daughter started college back in 2006 to be a meteorologist. I went with her to her advisor's office when she signed up for her 1st semester classes. While there I saw several Fortran programming books on his bookshelf. At the end of the meeting I asked about them. He said all the major meteorological models are written in Fortran so if you're going to play with the models you're going to play in Fortran. I would have thought that they would have been modernized as time went on, but he said they are so huge and complex with so many assumptions coded into them that the task of updating/rewriting is so daunting it never gets past the proposal stage.

Unless, of course, things have changed in the last 15 years.
