: Indeed, I want my code to make portable. And I hope that in the

It is your choice, of course.  However, if you want to get results
now and use a new and clean OO language for scientific computation
the best one is Sather.  Look at http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~sather.

Some {but not enough IMHO} of its good ideas seemed to have gone in to
Java (whether by knowledge or by independent invention I don't know).
