Thank you so much for that introduction.

And that is actually a fascinating thing to hear that people have been responding, Fortran

is not dead, yay.

Because as I was preparing for this presentation, I was wondering if I should even mention the

some people have out there that Fortran is dead.

It's a conversation that I have a lot with my group lead at Berkeley Lab, Damien Roussand,

who is the co-author.

He helped me a lot with this presentation, so I've credited him on this title slide.

But just as an aside, Damien and I have frequent conversations about whether we even want to

highlight the fact that that is a prominent idea out there, that Fortran is dead.

We're obviously trying to impress upon people the idea that Fortran is not dead, but it

is definitely an idea out there.

So hopefully this presentation will show you today, or convince those who might be

skeptic and hopefully some audience members are already on board with the idea that Fortran

is not dead and perhaps are active, joyful users of Fortran.

But yes, today we'll be exploring a lot about that language, which does incite a lot of

different opinions.

So yes, thank you for that wonderful introduction.

My name is Kate Rasmussen and I am an DDA software engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National

Laboratory.

I work on a lot of different related, a lot of different projects related to Fortran

in some way, as was mentioned in my introduction.

And today I will be talking about Fortran 2023.

Sorry, let me just start my timer.

But yes, today I will be talking about Fortran 2023 for you, features and tools.

And as I already have mentioned briefly, Damien Roussand has helped with this presentation,

so I'd like to say a big thank you to him.

As I said, he's my group lead at Berkeley Lab and I consider him a Fortran guru.

So he is definitely somebody that I knew I would want to help revise my slides with me.

And in preparing for the presentation, he gave me some feedback.

Damien just waved to the camera.

But in preparing for the presentation, he gave me some really helpful feedback that

improved it overall.

And there was also one particular example that he helped with immensely.

So we'll encounter that wonderful example later.

So thank you to Damien.

Today the presentation will be split into three main sections.

First we will explore some useful features of Fortran.

Then we will explore some tools that can aid in Fortran development.

And then we will finish with an exploration of Fortran developer communities.

So jumping in first, we have our features.

So one thing that I wanted to discuss first is some terminology.

Throughout this presentation and throughout other presentations I've given in the past,

or presentations that other team members at Berkeley Lab have given about Fortran, we

use a lot of different terms.

And sometimes we use them, the same term to mean different things.

Sometimes we use different terms to mean the same thing.

It's sort of an evolving thing with some of these terms that we use.

So I want to discuss that a little bit first.

One term that we hear a lot and that I've used a lot myself in presentations, including
