LFortran is an alpha-stage modern, interactive LLVM-based Fortran compiler.

Nice milestone.

Modern Fortran is no longer the FORTRAN from punch cards, having this compiler push maybe will help folks to write directly blazing performance Fortran code, instead of numerical code in Python.

The lang is still under development, the most current in in Fortran 2023: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/modern-fortran-expla...

I am fully aware of it, however most recent revisions tend not to be adopted by all compilers, and honestly the large majority only cares about keeping existing code running.

A bit like C23 and C++23 are here, and the large majority is a mix of C89, C99, C++11, and C++17, as what folks in the trenches care about.

Or Java 8 versus Java 24, and so on.

Fortran is in a similar position.

How many different platforms out there run Fortran code these days? I’m aware of it being very important in scientific computing (and compiling existing code is critical) but I don’t know many other use cases and different platforms requiring different compilers.
