Re:Why Fortran is a scientific powerhouse by ryanobjc on Tuesday January 10, 2023 @05:21PM (#34332374)
ISO standards for programming languages have been essentially totally obsoleted for new languages. Open source is the reason: previously you'd only have proprietary implementations, so you'd need a standard to ensure they were compatible. Now the standard for rust, python, etc IS the default implementation. Bug for bug compatibility and all that.

Except there are fields where standards do matter, hence why Ferrocene is helping such effort for Rust.
