For raw speed at crunching through arrays (which is still vitally important in many areas of scientific computing), it's still FORTRAN. It also has very good (and well-tested) libraries for all sorts of mathy-sciency things.
A PhD friend of mine who does scientific computing works almost exclusively in FORTRAN.
