Fortran-lang is now second in Google

Could you change “Mature and battle-tested compilers and libraries” to “Mature and battle-tested compilers and libraries, both open source and commercial”?

I agree and this would be an easy PR. Do you mind submitting it?

(2) Many of the terms in the Natively Parallel section could benefit from links, such as Coarrays , teams , events , and collective subroutines . But maybe you want to keep the landing page uncluttered?

I agree, though we should only link once we have quality tutorials for these features on our own Learn page. We shouldn’t link off-site.

(3) Since Fortran is ranked 30th or lower in popularity in programming languages, it is important that it :“plays well” with many more popular languages, such as C, Python, Matlab, and R. Could you add a section called “Embeddable” discussing this?

This would be a good addition. Perhaps even say something like “If your programming language can interface C, it can interface Fortran.”

(4) Unlike some other popular languages, Fortran is standardized. Does that merit a paragraph?

I think we could address this in the first question of the FAQ.
