Our new paper on Fortran-lang is up as a pre-print:

[[2109.07382] Toward Modern Fortran Tooling and a Thriving Developer Community](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.07382).

We explain why and how we started the Fortran-lang community, progress made so far, and next steps.

Submitted for publication to ACM Fortran Forum.

Thank you to co-authors @certik, @everythingfunctional, @awvwgk, @lkedward, @Arjen, @ivanpribec , and @jeremie.vandenplas for all their hard work and leadership, and all other Fortran-lang and Discourse contributors (300+ people), without whom this wouldn’t happen.

We welcome any feedback.

Thanks. I learned some things about fpm and stdlib and may try out the string type.

Many readers of ACM Fortran Forum may have already heard of the projects discussed in the paper. Could the paper be submitted to [Computing in Science & Engineering](https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cs)? I suggest announcing the paper at Numerical Analysis Digest ([NA Digest](http://www.netlib.org/na-digest-html/)).

Thanks Fortran Community!  
Just one word: A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Actually, we are working on a version for that journal as well 🙂
