With one vendor offloading simple, standard conformant `do concurrent` constructs to the GPU _automatically_ (see [this post](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/accelerating-fortran-do-concurrent-with-gpus-and-the-nvidia-hpc-sdk-nvidia/426)), Fortran may be **the way** to write long-lived code for machine learning. It’s worked well for high-performance mathematical libraries in the past.
