There have been many questions lately about LFortran. I wonder if we should introduce Fortran Discourse tags specific to compilers: LFortran, GNU, Intel, flang, NVIDIA, etc. Tags help to keep titles less polluted with compiler names.

Really impressive for LFortran…

My only remark is LFortran’s color. Too… bland. Not that it matters, it’s just a small box after all. But maybe some red or fuchsia or something? Totally subjective.
@milancurcic mentioned flang in a list of compilers. Is there more than one flang? I ask because when I downloaded the AMD compiler into my x86_64 Ubuntu system.it turned out, to my surprise, to be called
~/AMD/aocc-compiler-4.1.0/bin/flang
Ok, I picked the same red color as from our logo.

I’m happy to be the one to innagurate the LFortran tag. 
That aside, I definitely think this is a good idea. Normally I would be hesitant to ask for help with a compiler. After all, this forum is not Nvidia / Intel / etc support.

Yes. There is aocc-flang (which I think is AMD’s), “classic” flang (which NVIDIA distributes) and LLVM flang. It’s terribly confusing, I know.
