Re:Fortran is still a thing by brootstrap on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @12:06PM (#18544121)
Very cool thanks for sharing the project! I used fortran in college for meteorology, had a very oldschool professor. There was another guy who taught Matlab, i liked fortran more honestly. It was the old style fortran , reading thru your repo i think this version does look much more modern.

After writing code in fortran and running on a shared cluster with a buttload of CPU and RAM, working in a software shop doing python science stuff on a mac makes me miss the speed. I didnt give a about how big my source data was , but now with python, occasionally i miss the ol static typed compiled days. I am giddy when i get to do some numpy matrix array type stuff instead of just glueing things together with python magic!
