I rely on FPM the Effing Package manager[0]. Occasionally, I run into php-fpm [1]. There's an unfortunate naming collision, at least with the first. [0]: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm [1]: https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.php
Fortran has a lot of interesting current compiler work leveraging MLIR, a subproject of LLVM: Flang [0] and CIL for C/C++/Fortran [1]. It seems like Fortran tooling is making somewhat of a comeback.

Which has multiple backends, besides the default LLVM one, it also has a C++ backend (to translate Fortran projects to a readable C++), and once MLIR matures, we'll add an MLIR backend also.

This is... built using Fortran, NICE. Writing a TOML parser in Fortran is precisely my definition of FUN.
This is really cool. There are definitely problems with security when it comes to package managers, but I think it has become apparent that having a dedicated package manager for your language is almost as important as the language features your language offers. As a side note. I've never used Fortran, but I see it around from time to time (R & Python packages that have fortran dependencies). Is Fortran seeing a bit…

One example of a project that I've used (but didn't work on) is GEMINI which is a newish prokect written in modern fortan. https://github.com/gemini3d/gemini3d
From seeing a lot of job postings in the sort of domains one would expect it to be used(scientific stuff and similar “academic” and research fields) it seems like Python and maybe Julia has taken over for most stuff and Fortran requirements are written as if it’s a “nice to have” for any legacy maintenance.
Is there any value in learning Fortran today, regardless if you work in a domain where it’s a thing or now?

However the chances that you'll be called upon to write new Fortran is tiny.

It seems like there's a small resurgence. You'd use fortan over those other languages for scientific computing. It's built for number crunching. As so it has some language features that help, has been optimized for it (see the n-body problem benchmark), and a lot of the number curnching libraries are written in it.
