I’m sure there is a population here that would benefit. For me, no. There is too little incremental benefit over the channels that already exist.
The Balkanization of attention-distracting technologies is counter-productive.
If there is any expectation that everyone here will “follow” real-time Discourse, or be expected to consume any thread about any topic of depth, I won’t be there.
I am not a deep contributor here, but I have more than enough channels of communication to follow, to the point that I am about to remove my attention from everything that does not require my official attention (J3, PL22, school work).
I don’t believe Fortran needs more communication channels. It maybe needs to funnel people to existing forums for low-threshold communication, education and advocacy.
But mostly, it needs people with the time, energy, and talent to contribute meaningfully to the language and its implementations.
