Here is an example of the last report from July 18: [https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/22/22-166.txt](https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/22/22-166.txt)

What are the updates since then?

I will then write it up and submit as a paper. It is due Monday.

Here it is for LFortran:

- Dedicated fixed-form parser, able to parse all Fortran code in SciPy (~0.5M lines)
- Work continues on the semantics, we are focusing on Minpack and Stdlib
- LFortran can run in the browser using our new WebAssembly backend: [https://dev.lfortran.org/](https://dev.lfortran.org/)
- Initial implementation of F202Y generics

Thanks for putting it together. Here’s the Fortran-lang list of updates, IMO:

- Google Summer of Code program finished, all (5) projects succeeded
- Website ([https://fortran-lang.org](https://fortran-lang.org)) revamped to improve maintainability and internationalization (GSoC project)
- New Fortran Playground: [https://play.fortran-lang.org](https://play.fortran-lang.org) (GSoC project)
- The Fortran Package Manager supports cpp and fypp preprocessor (GSoC project)
- Applied to be a NumFOCUS organization, response expected end of November

Please add anything that I missed.

Anybody interested in writing up fortran-lang updates? I have to submit tomorrow (Monday) morning.

@milancurcic, @gnikit, @lkedward, @awvwgk, @everythingfunctional and others. 🙂
