First year of the Fortran website

In April 2020 we created a website for the Fortran language at fortran-lang.org. In exactly one year, it grew to be the first result when you search “Fortran” in Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant, SearchEncrypt and the second result in Google (after the Wikipedia page for Fortran).

The goal of the website is to maintain a neutral place where any Fortran user (expert or novice), compiler vendor (open source or commercial), Fortran Standards Committee member, enthusiast, supporter or anybody else interested is welcome to participate. Fortran was invented in 1956, and we aim to be the stewards of the language and we welcome you to join us.
