Phoronix: The MLIR-Targeting "FC" LLVM Fortran Compiler Is Now Open-Source

Last week we reported on "FC" as a new LLVM Fortran compiler targeting the new MLIR intermediate representation. That new Fortran compiler is now public and open-source...

The performance is comparable of FC to existing Fortran compilers, the current language support is targeting Fortran 95, and other basics among Fortran compilers, but the MLIR usage appears to be one of the primary "selling points" of this new compiler.

Actually Flang/F18 is also using MLIR, so this doesn't seem link a major selling point for FC
However, being (soon) an official LLVM project is a major selling point for Flang/F18.
Anyway, always good to see more compilers being open-sourced.
