# Jupyter Fortran Kernel

Inspired by the incredible power of the C++ interpreter [Cling](https://github.com/root-project/cling)

and its associated [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) kernel [xeus-cling](https://github.com/QuantStack/xeus-cling),

``jfk-fling`` is a [prototype](#Limitations) kernel that facilitates iterative and investigatory computing

using modern Fortran.

## Materials designed for the jfk-fling kernel

The purpose of the jfk-fling kernel is to speed up the learning of modern Fortran.

A number of resources have been made available that build upon the jfk-fling kernel,

some of which are listed below:

 * [Introduction to jfk-fling]()

 * [Fortran 90 with jfk-fling]()

 * [Object-oriented programming with jfk-fling]()

 * ...

*Please submit a pull request to add a link to any other jfk-fling notebook material.*

## A note on maintenance

This prototype was developed in support of learning modern Fortran, and it has been invaluable for that purpose.

I am releasing this work in the hope that it can be useful to others who want to learn, or indeed develop learning

resources for, modern Fortran.

As such, I do not intend to develop this kernel on an ongoing basis - anybody who wishes to do so may either

fork the repository, or request merge access to this repository.

## Limitations

 * Whilst it may appear that cells are being executed iteratively, each cell is in fact an entirely independent execution environment.

   For example, suppose you have a long-running execution cell followed by a simple cell to print the results, it will result in the long-running

   code being executed twice.

 * In order to interpret the code we use [fparser](https://github.com/stfc/fparser). Any limitations

   of parsing within fparser are therefore inherited, as well as some additional constraints on the source form.

## Inspiration

 * [Cling](https://github.com/root-project/cling)

 * [fparser](https://github.com/stfc/fparser)

 * [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/)

 * [jupyter-fortran-kernel](https://github.com/ZedThree/jupyter-fortran-kernel) &

   [jupyter-c-kernel](https://github.com/brendan-rius/jupyter-c-kernel) - the design of this kernel was significantly influenced by these implementations.
