The parallel processing and the libraries - especially LAPACK.

All those libraries for FORTRAN are of very high quality with state of the art parallel processing.

Scientific parallel processing is a niche market, there isn't that much money in it and the development is very difficult.

It will take decades for Julia to catch up - which of all languages is currently the most probable successor.
