The amount of work that's been put into Fortran by the LFortran [1] folks and others in recent years [2] is nothing short of absurdly impressive!

[2] "in recent years" because that's when I became aware of this stuff, not to say there wasn't effort before then

If you’re going to give praise, include the GNU Fortran developers, who have really set the standard for open source production quality Fortran compiler development.

That sounds great, kudos to them too!

The only times I set foot in the Fortran world is when some Julia-related development [1] [2] happens, and then I peruse some surrounding links and related projects - so I have very little familiarity with GNU Fortran myself.
