Toward Modern Fortran Tooling and a Thriving Developer Community

Toward Modern Fortran Tooling and a Thriving Developer Community.
Fortran is the oldest high-level programming language that remains in use
today and is one of the dominant languages used for compute-intensive
scientific and engineering applications. However, Fortran has not kept up with
the modern software development practices and tooling in the internet era. As a
consequence, the Fortran developer experience has diminished. Specifically,
lack of a rich general-purpose library ecosystem, modern tools for building and
packaging Fortran libraries and applications, and online learning resources,
has made it difficult for Fortran to attract and retain new users. To address
this problem, an open source community has formed on GitHub in 2019 and began
to work on the initial set of core tools: a standard library, a build system
and package manager, and a community-curated website for Fortran. In this paper
we report on the progress to date and outline the next steps.
