Modern Fortran for Today and Tomorrow
Dr. Fortran's Retirement
Dr. Fortran, better known as Steve Lionel, has been instrumental in Fortran development and usage for many years. Recently, he retired from Intel after a total of 38 years in the Fortran business. He's not leaving Fortran completely, but he won’t be quite as active. His blogs and tweets are a beacon to Fortran coders around the world; his blog posts are extremely well written, concise, and loaded with great information. All these years he as not given up on what is arguably the best language for scientific and research coding. I wish him well and hope he will still pop up in the Fortran world from time to time.
