This is not true for the current Fortran standard (Fortran 90). It offers
array manipulations and an array syntax, that are quite similar to that
of IDL, but not identical.
I am using both of them and had to convert IDL sources to Fortran and
vice versa several times, usually in order to run calculations on
machines, that don't have IDL installed.
Due to their similarities, these conversions were straightforward and
easily done in most cases.
