We are excited to announce that LFortran can now successfully compile and execute libprima/PRIMA as is-without any workarounds or modifications.
Thanks to @certik for his guidance, the entire team for their dedication and hard work!

On its site:
LFortran will reach beta when it can reliably compile 10 third-party production codes. Current status is 7/10:
Is it 7/10 or rather 8/10?

It’s 8/10, good catch. I fixed it in Set to 8/10, add a link. (!157) · Merge requests · lfortran / web / www.lfortran.org · GitLab.

@certik, if you aren’t already using it I would strongly suggest you add the netCDF Fortran interfaces to your test harness. netCDF is one of the most widely used scientific data I/O libraries on the planet. Also, if you need another code to check your F77 backwards compatibility, I would also suggest the NASA CFL3D code

Dear @certik , @Pranavchiku and LFortran team members,
Fantastic!!! Congratulations! This is a milestone!
I read your blog carefully. Besides your team, I am probably the one in this world who understands best what you mean by the challenges described in “Development Overview”. Nevertheless, only your team members can truly see the difficulties and hence fully appreciate the efforts, as what happened to me during the development of PRIMA. Well done!!!
Best wishes,
Zaikun
PS: I note that LFortran has 1024 stars on GitHub right now. What a nice coincidence!
