I’ve found the Odin [FAQ’s](https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/) to share some common philosophy with Fortran, for instance when it comes to exception handling (see [Idioms for exception handling](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/idioms-for-exception-handling/7777)) but also in other points like simplicity. It looks like a neat little language; I’ll definitely give it a try in the future.
