On [https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/), the interested can submit their solution to a computational problem designed maximize the action/the results with minimal source code. Sometimes, the posts there are condensed on expense of readability… Displayed a _hot network question_ (by the metrics of stackexchange), yesterday, a thread about [Tips for golfing in Fortran](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/278355/tips-for-golfing-in-fortran) started. Given there is some popularity in _one-liners_ for Perl, AWK, Python etc. (sometimes even published, e.g. [Python](https://nostarch.com/pythononeliners)), maybe regulars of our site would like to add and share a particularly _compact_ motif of (contemporary) Fortran there. ---

People seem to be busy with FORTRAN77 loop structure. Using modern `DO CONCURRENT` we can do it in a single line for both serial and parallel (after using locality specification): **Fortran2008** ```auto do concurrent (i=1:Nx,j=1:Ny) ... end do ```
