Well, that's the thing. Most of the people in this discussion are
saying true things, and the context is the reason they don't agree.
I write in C++ these days and I particularly like the capability Paul
mentioned of switching containers after the fact. But I've also worked
on high-volume hydrographic and borehole data (although not as high
volume as you're talking about) and much of the best and fastest
software I worked on was in FORTRAN. It was well structured and well
commented, and it was very readable and perfectly good code.
