Link for “automatic differentiation” topic: [Automatic differentiation of Fortran code, opinions?](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/automatic-differentiation-of-fortran-code-opinions/369)

And I would also like to (briefly) discuss the “goal of Fortran”, link: [High Performance Fortran (HPF) history and lessons](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/high-performance-fortran-hpf-history-and-lessons/367)

Also I would like to show “conditional expressions” prototype in LFortran, link: [https://github.com/j3-fortran/fortran\_proposals/issues/183#issuecomment-707498368](https://github.com/j3-fortran/fortran_proposals/issues/183#issuecomment-707498368), showing a demo how it works (5 min)
