In the 70s, when Fortran 66 still ruled the night, the usual suspects at Bell Labs wrote Ratfor, which was pretty much what Coffeescript did to Javascript, bending the syntax towards C.
When you compare the current Fortran standards to its '66 version, you'll see how much progress it made.
And I hope that you can actually use it these days. Round the turn of the millennium, it was still quite common for people to use Fortran 77 because that's all that was supported or fit in the general codebase.
