I’d like to see (and help with) 1. More tutorials with an emphasis on scientific programming and numerical methods 2. Examples of Modern Fortran for competitive programming; that is a good way to attract a younger demographic and show others what Fortran can do. 3. Improve the docs so motivated high school and undergrad students can contribute to Modern Fortran projects. 4. **Addendum:** Better integration with VS Code and the javascript/webassembly ecosystem, so Fortran developers don’t have to re-invent the wheel > [@Questions about Fortran software tools](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/questions-about-fortran-software-tools/2185): > > In this [post](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/the-counter-intuitive-rise-of-python-in-scientific-computing/469/3) @certik wrote: Blockquote Part of the advantage of Python is that it is interactive. We will fix that for Fortran with LFortran. Finally, Python has more mature tooling, allowing rapid prototyping. The amount of work he has done to 1. produce a LLVM based Fortran compiler/interpreter, 2. generate much needed enthusiasm for the language is amazing. I was wondering what other developer tools would make Fortran competitive with Python? I’m looking at LFortran + Web Assembly inte… --- _[View the full topic](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/fortran-goals-for-2022/2473)._
