Yes; I am seriously thinking of getting the "Modern Fortran Explained" book (https://academic.oup.com/book/56095). Modern Fortran has everything (Procedural, OO, Functional, Multithreading, Parallel etc. features) that all modern languages have. I would say it is no longer "just" for numerical computing. Excellent libraries/ecosystem, a well supported and stable language, fantastic optimization right out of the box etc. makes it a great general purpose language.
