Hey everyone, happy to say that Fortran-Lang is applying for Google Summer of Code 2026 (GSoC ‘26). The deadline for application is 3rd February, 18:00 UTC.
I request any interested mentors to please message here. Let’s put the application together. The first draft of project ideas is posted at GSoC 2026 Project ideas · fortran-lang/webpage Wiki · GitHub !
I’ve added prospective mentors from LFortran, and will be adding others at GSoC 2026 Mentors · fortran-lang/webpage Wiki · GitHub !
Thanks @Pranavchiku! If you are willing to mentor, please reply below. We have about 5 for LFortran, but it would be good to get a few more for other Fortran-lang projects also.
Hey all, we’ve applied for GSoC 2026, looking forward to exciting summer!
Excellent, thank you Pranav!
Hey Fortran community I am interested to participate in Fortran GSoC 2026 if I can make the time

Hey all, we got accepted for GSoC 2026. 
Awesome, thank you @Pranavchiku !
Hello everyone!
I’m Anany Rai,though I go by ‘singu’ almost everywhere online. I’m a sophomore pursuing a B.S. in Economics at IIT Kanpur, India, and I’m incredibly excited to join the Fortran-lang community for GSoC 2026.
My main area of interest is in Systems Programming and Competitive Programming, a little in web3 (defi and bitcoin dev) and Graphics programming. I have Rust as my language of choice for nearly everything for now.. I am familiar with low-level memory management, FFI, and performance optimization. Although I am a newcomer to the Fortran world, I have been reading up on memory handling, compiler architecture and WebAssembly for the past year.
Presently, I am a Secretary at Programming Club , IIT Kanpur. I have organized camps,sessions on Graphics Programming (ray tracing and wgpu) and Web3/Blockchain systems. I have also experimented with writing RAG/GraphRAG pipelines.
I came across Fortran at the same time as I started learning about Rust, Zig, and Haskell. This was because of ThePrimeagen’s series on performance languages. I find it intriguing that the oldest high level language still maintains a performance advantage in scientific computing because of its strict aliasing and array first design.
I am currently trying to familiarize myself with the LFortran and fpm codebases. I plan to submit my first patch soon. I look forward to meeting the community and contributing to the ecosystem!
Hi everyone,
I’m Samarth Hannure. I’m interested in contributing to fpm for GSoC 2026.
I’ve started working on documentation cleanup issues and exploring the packaging/docs structure.
Looking forward to contributing and learning from the community.
Hey everyone, Saif this side. Last year contributed to The JPF Team (GSoC 2025). Looking forward to contributing to vscode support for fortran. Familiar with programming languages like java, ts, python. New to fortran. Thanks. Great community.
Hi everyone,
I’m Rohan Mohite, and I’m interested in contributing to the stdlib and fortls as part of GSoC-2026. I’m excited to get involved with the Fortran-Lang community and contribute to improving the ecosystem.
My primary programming experience is in C++, Python, and JavaScript/TypeScript. I use C++ extensively for data structures, algorithms, and performance-oriented programming, and Python for scripting, backend work, and automation.
I look forward to engaging with the community, learning from contributors and mentors.
Hey everyone!
I’m Ahmed Ramadan, a fresh CS grad from Egypt. I’m excited to take part in GSoC’26 and would love to contribute on Fortran-Lang!
A quick snapshot: I’m a competitive programmer (CodeForces Expert, 5 stars on Codechef), and I’ve worked with C, C++, C#, Java, Python across various projects. I haven’t used Fortran-Lang yet, but I’m absolutely ready to dive in and learn.
Hi everyone,
I’m Jatin Kumar (@ijatinydv), a CSE student at GGSIPU, New Delhi, India.
Most of my background is in C++ and full-stack web development, but over the past few months, I’ve been diving deeper into build systems, dependency management, and DevOps practices.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on the stdlib CMake setup, specifically fixing how it handles paths and pkg-config generation for external libraries like BLAS and LAPACK (PRs #1118 and #1123). I really appreciate @jeremie.vandenplas and @zoziha reviewing my code and helping me get those merged.
Right now, I am working on fpm. I just opened a PR to fix how it handles linking for external C++ libraries and MPI linker groups (Issue #1226).
Working on these build issues has been genuinely fun, so I’d really love to tackle the “Support of external third-party preprocessors” project for fpm this summer. I know how important it is to get tools like fypp working smoothly so that projects like stdlib can fully adopt fpm.
For now, I’m just focused on fixing bugs, learning the architecture, and getting to know the community. I’d love to hear any early advice or thoughts from the mentors on this area of the code!
Looking forward to contributing more
Hi everyone!
My name is Minh, and I’m currently a junior studying Computer Science at Bucknell University, PA. Over the course of my studies, I’ve become familiar with full-stack development using languages and frameworks such as JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, React/Next.js, Python, and Java. I have a strong interest in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Machine Learning, and I’ve recently started exploring open-source development.
I’m excited to apply for Fortran’s GSoC 2026; this opportunity feels like a great chance to both learn from and contribute to an inspiring community. I look forward to collaborating and growing together with you all!
Hi everyone!
I’m Arnav, a 19 year old student at BITS Pilani, majoring in Mathematics and Computing. My academic focus is on the implementation and optimization of scientific algorithms, with active coursework in Scientific Computing, Numerical Analysis, and Numerical Optimization.
I have a strong interest in algorithms, compilers, and competitive programming. I am proficient in C++, C, and MATLAB, and have experience using Python.
I’ve already begun contributing to the LCompilers ecosystem via LPython, with active PRs for mathematical optimizations (overflow handling) and documentation. I now plan to leverage my C++ skills to dive deeper into LFortran’s backend. My academic background includes a 99.7 percentile in JEE Main (AIR 4938).
I am eager to apply my skillset to contribute to LFortran within the Fortran-Lang organization for GSoC’26. I am based in India and I speak English. Looking forward to collaborating!

My primary programming experience is in C++, Python, and web technologies. I’ve worked on projects involving algorithms, backend logic, and system-style development, and I’m comfortable reading and understanding existing codebases.
I’m currently exploring the Fortran-Lang ecosystem (stdlib / fpm / tooling) and learning more about modern Fortran. I’m especially interested in contributing to developer tooling and ecosystem improvements.
I’m looking forward to learning from the community and gradually getting involved through issues and contributions.
Hello Everyone, My name is Kartik Dua. I am a computer science student at NSUT, Delhi, India. My background is primarily in C++/C and Rust all of which are low level systems languages. I am a competitive programmer. (Candidate Master Codeforces.) Although I havent had the opportunity to use Fortran yet, I would like to change that by applying for GSOC 2026 with Fortran stdlib :))
Hi everyone,
I’m Sinan, an engineering student from IIT Madras, India. I started working with fortran last year. Once I came across stdlib, I became very interested in contributing to it. Over the last couple of months, I have worked with stdlib_specialmatrices, stdlib_lapack_extended, stdlib_str2num and stdlib_io modules. Other than fortran, I usually work with C, C++ and python. I started C and C++ because I got a chance to take a very interesting course in my first year (Introduction to computation). Looking forward to applying for GSoC 2026 under Fortran-lang.
Thanks.
Hi @certik
I’m Deval, for GSoC 2026 I am interested in the LFortran project idea: “Implementation of features on the ASR and LLVM level.”
Before writing my proposal I did a investigation of the roadmap features by running tests against the compiler using ‘–show-ast’, ‘–show-asr’, and ‘ --show-llvm’. i found most of the features listed like array slicing, array arithmetic, elemental procedures, allocatable arrays etc. are already fully implemented across all three compiler stages.
After reading the recent LFortran blog post, which explicitly mentions that Parameterized Derived Types (PDTs) are one of the two remaining unimplemented Fortran features, I am planning to focus my proposal entirely on PDTs from ASR node design and semantic analysis through LLVM lowering and testing.
I wanted to check with the mentors if I am interpreting the project idea correctly or not? The idea page says students can pick a feature or set of features from the roadmap, would a proposal focused purely on PDTs be a good fit, or would you prefer a broader scope that also covers some partially-implemented items which i might have missed in my investigation?
Thanks,
