May be that is because the new Fortran standard now has in it
everything but the kitchen sink? Modern Fortran has become
more complicated than C++, and one has to feel sorry for the
compiler engineers working on gfortran trying to catch up with
all those new "modern" features being added to Fortran every
few years.
In the good old days, a computer language was simple and could be
learned in few days from cover to cover. Now it takes years
and one still can't learn everything in it.
