LFortran now works in WebAssembly. Here is a very alpha-version demo that runs in your browser and it is *fast*: dev.lfortran.org/ It still has many bugs, which you can report here if they are not already reported: github.com/lfortran/lcompile… github.com/lfortran/lfortran…

We've come a long way. Now we are just compiling as many codes as we can until we can expect LFortran to just work; after that we will work on performance. Then we will announce beta quality.

LFortran compiles fpm

LFortran can now compile fpm, the Fortran Package Manager. We opened up an issue for it in April 2025, when we started focusing on it as a priority. We closed it on February 7, 2026. fpm is the most …

As any respectable Fortran compiler must do, LFortran now compiles LAPACK, probably the most famous Fortran library. All tests pass, single/double precision, real/complex, 32-bit/64-bit integers. lfortran.org/blog/2026/02/lf…

Replying to @cfdlab
Yep, using the LFortran compiler (@lfortranorg) allows some interactivity with Jupyter but it ain't feature-complete obviously. They're making an awesome work though. As for plotting, you can find a list of tools following this link: tinyurl.com/mprs2txr

Tools for plotting from Fortran

I added a plotting section, copied below, to my list of Fortran Tools. If you know of others please reply here or message me. accis: plotting and graphics library by Ian Hutchinson. Related project:...

Congrats to Flang on the big milestone: blog.llvm.org/posts/2025-03-…. Thanks for mentioning LFortran and fortran-lang.org (@fortranlang) as well.

LLVM Fortran Levels Up: Goodbye flang-new, Hello flang!

LLVM has included a Fortran compiler “Flang” since LLVM 11 in late 2020. However, until recently the Flang binary was not flang (like clang) but instead flang-new. LLVM 20 ends the era of flang-new.

We are steadily moving towards beta quality. I am very happy with the progress. The intrinsics are very fast, no runtime overhead, see the blog post for all details.

احب اشارك الشغل اللي كنت بعمله بقالي فتره ف البروجكت الواعد ده. دلوقتي كومبيلر LFortran بقا يقدر يcompile واحده من اتقل الاكواد اللي بتعمل array maniuplation. كان في تحديات كتير واتعلمت كتير من زمايلي ف التيم ومن التيم ليدر. وان شاء الله نكبر رقعه الاكواد المدعومه اكتر.🎉🎉💪

This is a huge milestone both for LFortran as well as for me personally. When I worked at @LosAlamosNatLab, SNAP was one of the codes they asked me if we could compile. And now we can! One Fortran code after another we will eventually compile them all. Join us on this journey!
