Comment on Ask HN: Memory-safe low level languages?

Comments

Have you tried "modern" Fortran? I've seen horrible "old" Fortran programs, but once you add modules it get's much better.

I was playing around with Fortran (modern-ish) recently was pretty impressed with the entire ecosystem. `fpm` is really really nice to work, pretty decent LSP server (fortls) as well as good enough documentation.

I am not sure however I like the verbosity of it where if you are using 'raw' editors without snippet support, it becomes a chore very soon.

All in all it is nice to use and play around with.
