Hi, John! Welcome to Mastodon!

If you've already been here a while...double welcome.

I saw you'd followed me, so I followed you back.

I saw from your website that you're a physicist that programs in FORTRAN. I also programmed in FORTRAN and worked in physics from 1983 thru 2014. I never got a degree in physics, though, just computer science.

🚀 Behold the pinnacle of retro-innovation: a Bluesky client coded in #Fortran 🙄. Because nothing says "cutting edge" like a language from the Jurassic era, paired with a #Rust decoder for that extra dash of "Why?". 🦖💻

GitHub - FormerLab/fortransky: We built a terminal-only Bluesky / AT Protocol client written in Fortran, with a Rust native firehose decoder for the relay-raw stream path. Yes, that Fortran.

Fortran ist nur Legacy? Nicht ganz.

Mit Martin Diehl sprechen wir über moderne Fortran Standards, HPC, OpenMP, MPI, Coarrays und warum hinter NumPy, SciPy und LAPACK oft Fortran steckt.

Plus: Compiler, LLVM, Community und Tooling.

@vmagnin It's great to hear that you use #Fortran with #GTK4. What software is it? Currently, unfortunately, the list does not have any Fortran application.

I am in the "2% Other" category:
#Fortran #GTK4

Any experts on pre-1970 #FORTRAN around?

The below two lines (there's stuff in between) are in IBM's SSP. It looks like it should be an out-of-bounds error, and in fact VS FORTRAN II refuses to compile it. So....???

DIMENSION XCOF(1),COF(1),ROOTR(1),ROOTI(1)
140 COF(2)=COF(2)+ALPHA*COF(1)

Breaking news: #LFortran, a #compiler for the two people who still write #Fortran, has achieved the monumental feat of compiling #fpm. 🎉🤦‍♂️ Excited developers publish a novella-length blog post, as if anyone is going to read all 1401 words about yet another compiler doing what compilers do. 📚💤

LFortran compiles fpm

LFortran can now compile fpm, the Fortran Package Manager. We opened up an issue for it in April 2025, when we started focusing on it as a priority. We closed it on February 7, 2026. fpm is the most complex project that we now successfully built and run. It is an interesting project: it is not computational, but rather a system project which exercises running other programs, reading environment variables, command-line argument parsing, reading and writing files, directories, parsing enough Fortran to understand dependencies, etc. It uses almost all modern Fortran features: classes, inheritance, allocatable components, constructors, arrays of classes, select type, associate, automatic LHS (left-hand side) reallocation, strings, arrays of strings and it exposed dozens and dozens of bugs and missing features in LFortran. And we have now implemented them all. As a result, LFortran is really close to beta, and we are advancing our progress bar to 9/10.

I integrated my `yaku` #Uxntal assembler into my #Fortran to Uxnal compiler, so now I have a "real" compiler, which is not only quite satisfying but also an essential step for what I want to do next.
