It appears based on the limited information on the website lfortran is<br>
in its early stages. It appears to have as a goal the ability to<br>
execute code interactively, and as a negative is creating its own<br>
extension to the Fortran Standard. Also seems to require Java.<br>
<br>
Flang on the other hand is really at this point 2 projects, both<br>
supported/developed by Nvidia.<br>
<br>
Flang is the current compiler that is either complete or reasonably<br>
complete from a Fortran standpoint but requires various things to work<br>
(a custom version of clang for example I believe).<br>
<br>
Also included under the Flang umbrella is f18, a new Fortran compiler<br>
being written from scratch with the goal of it being a proper member<br>
of the LLVM community, and they have interacted with the existing<br>
LLVM/clang community to find the best way to proceed.<br>
<br>
In both cases (Flang/f18) they are traditional style compilers that<br>
don't offer an interactive mode I believe.<br>
