Fortran-lang welcomes new students to Google Summer of Code 2021
- 18 May 2021
We’re happy to announce six students that will work on Fortran projects under the Google Summer of Code 2021 program:
Aman Godara will work on strings in the Fortran Standard Library. Aman’s mentors will be Sebastian Ehlert and Milan Curcic.
First year of the Fortran website
- 20 April 2021
In April 2020 we created a website for the Fortran language at fortran-lang.org. In exactly one year, it grew to be the first result when you search “Fortran” in Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant, SearchEncrypt and the second result in Google (after the Wikipedia page for Fortran).
The goal of the website is to maintain a neutral place where any Fortran user (expert or novice), compiler vendor (open source or commercial), Fortran Standards Committee member, enthusiast, supporter or anybody else interested is welcome to participate. Fortran was invented in 1956, and we aim to be the stewards of the language and we welcome you to join us.

The Fortran website has been up since mid-April, and we’ve already got great feedback from the community. In the past month we’ve updated the Compilers page which is now comprehensive and includes all major open source and commercial compilers. The Learn page has also seen significant updates—it’s been reorganized for easier navigation and currently features a quickstart tutorial, Fortran books, and other online resources.
