Tsoding on Fortran

[Carltoffel]

@tyranids

Also, one should expect that people googling for answers are looking for single sentence at most + block of code self contained working example to copy/paste into their work. It is ridiculous to expect people to read paragraphs of text mixed with historical (irrelevant) information and standards language when searching for simple things.

Tutorials still should include in depth explanations, historical information etc. but there should be a short summary section at the very top, with exactly the things you described.

@tyranids

Gfortran’s list of intrinsic procedures is quite good, but I share the same frustration that statements are not included there.

At the beginning of every Fortran tutorial there should be a short overview over the relevant building blocks in Fortran, including an explanation on functions (which appear on the rhs), subroutines (which are called with call) and statements (which are called without call and are always intrinsic).
