Thanks @Pranavchiku for leading the effort and implementing this. Big progress for LFortran. It supports the latest `do concurrent` syntax with `reduce` and everything. As usual, please report all bugs that you find.

I think we are now ready to start implementing GPU offloading, here are the issues for that:

- NVIDIA: [NVIDIA GPU support · Issue #4497 · lfortran/lfortran · GitHub](https://github.com/lfortran/lfortran/issues/4497)
- AMD: [Offload do concurrent to AMD GPUs · Issue #4535 · lfortran/lfortran · GitHub](https://github.com/lfortran/lfortran/issues/4535)

If there is anybody here who wants to help us make it happen sooner, we would appreciate it.
