fortran-language-server VS fortran-lang.org

You can find more details in the preprocessing section here: https://github.com/hansec/fortran-language-server

A good starting point: https://fortran-lang.org/

Glad you're interested in Fortran. Not sure how old that book is, but take a look at https://fortran-lang.org/ for the latest news and best practices for modern Fortran (for example, there's now a standard library and package manager).

Install wsl and then in Linux install fortran gfortran. Fortran has moved on from 77 so find some f90+ stuff. https://fortran-lang.org/

I cannot compare excitement across programming language communities, but I can say that there has been a lot of progress in the Fortran community, centered around the site https://fortran-lang.org/ and forum https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/ and surveyed in a preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.07382. A package manager, standard library, and a compiler with a REPL (LFortran) are being developed. The Fortran standard has coarrays for parallelism, which several compilers have implemented.

A few years ago the main Fortran forum was comp.lang.fortran of Usenet, and although people did release tools and code, their efforts were scattered.

The Fortran-lang group has written a paper summarizing their efforts, such as a web site https://fortran-lang.org/, a Fortran standard library, the Fortran Package Manager, Fortran Discourse, and LFortran.

Old content (this is from 1992) should have a year in the title. This is a summary of Fortran 77. The latest standard is Fortran 2018, and Fortran 202x is being worked on. Some features of Fortran 2018 have been implemented in compilers.
