It is great to see type annotations! A huge step in the right direction.
we are slowly approaching the ease of use and efficiency of fortran. In a few decades more we'll be there!
Modern fortran has classes, too! I've occasionally joked that fortran 25 and python 4 are to be the same language...
“I don't know what the language of the [future] will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran.”
— Tony Hoare, 1982
I assume you say it at least a bit in jest, and with a good deal of sincerity.
Did you ever know an interactive environment for producing Fortran code? Anything like a REPL?
In development, but there is lfortran: https://lfortran.org/
The next step after type annotations will be having the type specified by the first character in the variable name.
