It's more like C or C++. Old, yes, but actively developed by a standards committee.
In terms of features, it's definitely more modern than C, with generics, move semantics for pointers etc.
- pklausler 3y ago“Actively” is debatable. New revisions arrive at roughly 5-year cadence and some (esp. 2018 and 2023) have been pretty small updates. And implementation uptake since F’95 has been spotty and buggy, so new features aren’t as portable as they should be, standard or not. (See https://github.com/klausler/fortran-wringer-tests https://github.com/klausler/fortran-wringer-tests for some examples.)
