It's a programming language. You know, C, C++, stuff like that. Except
that it's a zombie-relict from the 1950's that refuses to die because
people still programming in it are too lazy to learn a proper, more
modern language :-P
When you enable the fortran USE flag for GCC, you are telling it to
compile and install the GNU Fortran compiler. Sometimes USE flags can
have more dramatic effects than just enabling some extra functionality;
in this case for example, a whole compiler and supporting runtime
libraries are built and installed.
