I would suspect that if Kovid Goyal or another developer wanted to port calibre to iOS or Android or ChromeOS or whatever other OS, they would probably want to use Python3. I seem to remember in 2014, Python3 was supposed to start replacing Python2 and Python2 went EOL on 2020-Jan-01 so continuing to use it would make no sense.
Admittedly, one client of mine has a backend program that was written in Fortran. As explained, it has one task, it does it well and the cost of replacing it makes it a low priority. |

As was Professor Neil Ferguson's epidemiological model on which the UK based its SARS-Cov2 pandemic response. Before he published it he thought it would be a good idea to convert it to C++ -- result a can of worms inside a nest of Matryoshka dolls
