The LLVM project stabilizes its Fortran compiler

Wednesday March 12, 2025. 03:15 PM , from LWN.net
The LLVM project's Fortran compiler, which has for many years gone by the name 'flang-new', will now simply be 'flang', starting from LLVM's 20.1.0 release on March 4. The

announcement, which includes details about the history of flang, comes after a long period of development and discussion. The community has considered renaming flang several times before now, but has always held off out of a feeling that the compiler was not yet ready. Now, the members of the project believe that flang has become stable and complete enough to earn its name.

We are almost 10 years from the first announcement of what would
become LLVM Flang. In the LLVM monorepo alone there have been close
to 10,000 commits from around 400 different contributors. Undoubtedly
more in Classic Flang before that.
