Fortran 95 Language Features
This is a comprehensive overview of features of the Fortran 95 language, the version supported by almost all existing Fortran compilers. Included are the additional features of TR-15581:Enhanced Data Type Facilities, that have been universally implemented. Old features that have been superseded by new ones are not described — few of those historic features are used in modern programs (although most have been retained in the language to maintain backward compatibility). Although the current standard is Fortran 2008, even many of those features first introduced into Fortran 2003 are still being implemented. The additional features of Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 are described by Metcalf, Reid and Cohen.

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or features:
“Language is filled
with words for deprivation
images so familiar
it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
