No subject

we should try to find out what it is before ridiculing their effort.  It sounds somewhat like harkening back
to Fortran vectorization work done at Illinois many years ago, which never amounted to much, done by
David Kuck and David Padua.

Perhaps someone on the Fortran committee should submit a paper describing modern Fortran and pointing
out, for example, that we have invented a new kind of array that is very useful for parallel programming.
And that the object-oriented features of Fortran allow people to design whatever complicated data structure
they want, like tensor objects, while still maintaining the performance advantages of contiguous Fortran arrays.
