fortran is the fastest, leanest language. Literally zero, zero differential equations in the whole 3D climate model can be solved analytically.

If you take fluid dynamics you'll know that the 3D Navier Stokes continuity equation for momentum transfer cannot be solved analytically. Therefore everything needs to be solved numerically

Fortran is still the best , leanest, fastest language for numerical methods, as we cannot afford to even use C++ due to computational time.
