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. ---

@milancurcic go for it and create the tags. ---

Really impressive for LFortran… ---

OK, I added a few, you can see them here: [Categories - Fortran Discourse](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/categories) ---

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 ```auto ~/AMD/aocc-compiler-4.1.0/bin/flang ``` ---

I’m sure @certik will pick his favorite color for LFortran. ---

Ok, I picked the same red color as from our logo. ---

> [@milancurcic](#): > > OK, I added a few, you can see them here: [Categories - Fortran Discourse](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/categories) 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. ---

> [@Harper](#): > > Is there more than one flang? 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.
