Despite its age, new language revisions include syntax and semantics for modern language ideas including pointers, recursion,\nobject orientated programming features, and parallel programming using Coarray Fortran.\u003c/p\u003e\n","created_at":"2024-07-29T13:40:48.974Z","updated_at":"2026-10-13T00:14:46.103Z","topic_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/topics/fortran","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/topics/fortran","projects_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects?keyword=fortran","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/lists?topic=fortran"}
