To use the gnuradio framework, you have 2 options:
write the blocks in python or write the blocks in c++

Writing blocks in python is a recent invention of mine that hasnt made
it into the mainline code:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/WriteBlocksInPython

Now, the actual implementation of your work() function, the code that is
doing all the heavy lifting can be written however, anyway, anyhow you like.

My only advice is to get everything working first in whatever language
you are most comfortable or efficient with. If thats fortran, than so be
it, but dont use fortran because of some programming misnomer.

When you want performance, then optimize your code with SIMD. Blocks
calling into volk kernels are a great example.
