I had totally forgotten about this document. Has anyone presented it to Tsoding and asked him if it would have helped him in his Fortran project?
I went through a few Fortran tutorials, and was OK when I could stay in Fortran, but my ignorance of the details of C libraries and the of POSIX lead me to focus on C much more closely.
I’d like for Fortran to be a viable introductory language, so the limitations of Fortran will need to be covered by interfacing to C libraries, but I think that should be discussed in a separate thread.
Here is a nice list of differences between C and Fortran from the LLVM docs:
