Fortran 2023 Unleashed
Fortran 2023 (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2023) has been officially published. This replaces the previous standard (Fortran 2018). In a previous post I listed the updates that are in this release (then called "Fortran 202x"). It will be a while before we have fully-compliant Fortran 2023 compilers. In the latest update to the Intel Fortran Compiler, they have started to add a few minor things.
Fortran is the oldest surviving programming language still in common use. Originally developed in 1957, first standardized in 1966, and continuously updated since that time, Fortran remains at the heart of scientific and high-performance computing.
The next standard (unofficially called Fortran 202y) is also already in work.
