FortranCon 2020
FortranCon 2020 was the first international conference entirely focused on the Fortran programming language. It took place in Zurich, Switzerland, but because of the current pandemic, it was almost entirely virtual. It was a terrific two-day conference with a lot of amazing presentations from people all around the world.
Here is the list of talks:
- Steve Lionel, Keynote: Fortran 2018…and Beyond
- Milan Curcic, Toward a thriving open source Fortran community
- Jeremie Vandenplas, Fortran Standard Library
- Brad Richardson, Fortran Package Manager
- Thomas König, Front-end optimization in gfortran
- Gary Klimowicz, Flang: The LLVM Fortran Front-End
- Ondřej Čertík, LFortran: Interactive LLVM-based Fortran Compiler for Modern Architectures
- Jacob Williams, Copernicus Spacecraft Trajectory Design and Optimization Program
- William Sawyer, Evolving Fortran for Emerging Architectures: Lessons from the ICON-GPU Atmospheric Model
- Christopher Brady, EIS2 - A mathematically rich input file processor for HPC applications
- Erin Hodgess, Using R with High Performance Fortran on a Windows Laptop

- Nicolas Netto, Parallelization of a Legacy Software through Fortran 2018 Standard
- Amir Shahmoradi, ParaMonte: Plain Powerful Parallel Monte Carlo Library
I presented a talk on Copernicus, the spacecraft trajectory design and optimization software that I develop for NASA. We recently completed the 5.0 release of Copernicus, which included some major upgrades and a new GUI. The core of Copernicus, of course, is written in Fortran. Copernicus is being used to design the trajectories that will return humans to the Moon.
Many thanks to the organizers of FortranCon 2020. I hope this is just the first of many FortranCon's to come.
