What I’d like to work on:
- More fpm
- build profiles in the manifest
- refactoring ?
- An official package hosting site
- Development and prototyping of Generics features
- I’d like to start contributing to LFortran for this
- More courses and tutorials
- I’m already working on my next course (details to come)
- I’d like to find time and topics to put out more YouTube videos
What else I’d like to see:
- More widespread Fortran 2018 support in compilers
- (At least) Alpha releases of the upcoming compilers (flang, ifx, LFortran)
- More tools, specifically things like:
- a formatter (comparable to clang-format or similar tools for other languages)
- a linter (comparable to clippy or similar tools for other languages)
- An online learning environment
- Think hosted Jupyter notebooks, but for Fortran (probably using LFortran)
- I would be willing to collaborate on this
- More widespread adoption of stdlib
- I’d like to see sufficient, crucial functionality added and people using it (with fpm) to prove it’s value and ensure it won’t go away any time soon
I think the community has built up a lot of momentum and if we keep it up I think we can accomplish a ton this year. I’m very optimistic about the future.
