Wow, this looks great. Seems like there is a mini-renaissance of Fortran that I've been seeing lately. I see from the main page:

"LLVM makes it possible to run LFortran on diverse hardware and take advantage of native Fortran language constructs (such as do concurrent) on multi-core CPUs and GPUs."

...is LFortran close to using coarrays, etc, and farming it out as appropriate to the GPU cores?

We are progressing. We'll tackle parallel loops very soon, and get some GPU offloading working. Our main focus is still on just compiling Fortran codes via LLVM. Once we can compile most codes, we'll focus on the various other backends, including GPU, running in the browser and Jupyter.
