AI Coding Assistants vs. Codee — Insights on Fortran Correctness and Modernization

I think the order should actually be:

  1. Develop a new feature, add it to an unreleased version of the compiler
  2. Ask the users for a review
  3. Run it across a large library of existing programs to prove that it didn’t break anything
  4. Let it loose on the users, collect feedback, iterate 2.-4. until satisfied
  5. Write a standard for the new feature

Probably this is not in conflict with your list, but I made it very explicit.
