Coding for GPU is more than language support. I'm currently rewriting a CFD engine that is implemented in Fortran with computer shaders and there are several cases where the logic of the code has to be rebuilt from scratch to fit the GPU model.

Also, I understand the only Fortran compiler that supports GPU is the one from nvidia which is proprietary. I prefer to rely on open source for a code base that will last at least ten years...

But reading this HN's thread, I understand that Fortran is more alive than I thought. How many new developments are done with Fortran ? I mean, to me, Fortran is a bit like Cobol: it is so entrenched that, obviously, it still have a lot of activity but the momentum is moving towards more modern languages... But, well, that's all guesses an impressions...
