Reports of Fortran's death (latest standard 2018) are greatly exaggerated (much like C). It's receded to a niche, but it's still a very important niche (numerical, HPC). Hopefully, the development of a new Fortran front end for LLVM (from PGI/Nvidia?) pans out, as this would fill a gap in LLVM's offerings, and provide more competition for ifort and gfortran.
