FORTRAN 2003 Accepted as Standard

Ivan8209

"...Despite the nay sayers citing its death in 1965, the FORTRAN
standards committee has now released the final FORTRAN 2003
specification. In an announcement to the comp.lang.fortran
group, Michael Metcalf annouced that 'Fortran 2003 has passed
its ballot with flying colours: 20 yeses, 0 noes, 8 abstains.'
Strictly speaking, the 2003 and past standards are not freely
available but drafts can be found online. FORTRAN 2003 is an
upwardly-compatible extension of the current standard, FORTRAN
95, adding and extending support for exception handling,
object-oriented programming, and improved interoperability with
the C language. In other FORTRAN news, the GNU FORTRAN 95
compiler has made amazing progress over the past year. Gfortran
will be part of gcc-4.0 when released (probably in 2005)."
