The complete and correct answer to your question is, "yes, Fortran does hold some advantages".
C++ also holds some, different, advantages. So do Python, R, etc etc. They're different languages. It's easier and faster to do some things in one language, and some in others. All are widely used in their communities, and for very good reasons.
Anything else, in the absence of more specific questions, is just noise and language-war-bait, which is why I've voted to close the question and hope others will too.
