LFortran
LFortran is an open-source next-generation interactive Fortran compiler based on LLVM. A unique feature is that it can execute the user’s code interactively to allow exploratory work, in addition to compiling it to binaries to run the code on modern architectures such as multi-core CPUs and GPUs. It can be used via WebAssembly and is available on Compiler Explorer.
LFortran is still in the alpha phase. It supports most of Fortran 95 and many features of later standards. It will reach beta when it can reliably compile 10 production-grade, third-party packages used in the scientific community and industry. The current status is 8/10:
