... #FreePeopleMedia wants to transcend opinions. FPM is critical of the left, centre, and right alike. On FPM, you not only read articles you may agree with, but also content you may (completely) disagree with or have never reflected on. For FPM, it is not about being right or getting approval, but about contributing to a constructive international debate.
#FPM is completely independent. This means that FPM derives its legitimacy entirely from its subscribers, donors, and advertisers...👇

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.
