What does a modern Fortran bring that Julia does not? Small binaries?

Language stability, and easy C ABI for embedding into other programs. Julia isn't really a language for embedding afaik.
Sure, not in the traditional sense. Since it does not make small standalone libraries, even though possible, I would not make a native extension with it. But juliacall works fine for Python and R. Quite seamless.
