An MVC web stack written in Fortran 90, enabling web development with Fortran's native array handling.
Fortran.io is an MVC web stack written in Fortran 90 that enables developers to build web applications using Fortran's native array handling and performance. It provides a full web development environment with templating, database integration, and FastCGI support, allowing Fortran to be used beyond traditional scientific computing.
Fortran developers and researchers who want to build web applications or expose scientific computing tools as web services without switching to another language.
It offers a unique opportunity to leverage Fortran's computational strengths in web development, providing a structured MVC framework with modern web features like templating and database connectivity, all within the Fortran ecosystem.
Finally a Fortran MVC web platform

Utilizes Fortran's native array operations for high-performance numerical computations, as shown in the SQLite integration where data is handled in arrays for efficient processing.
Implements Model-View-Controller architecture for organized web development, with clear separation between controllers, templates, and models in the code examples.
Runs as a FastCGI application behind nginx, providing efficient request processing suitable for performance-critical applications, as configured in the setup instructions.
Offers direct SQLite integration through Fortran subroutines, allowing database operations like querying and data loading without leaving the Fortran environment, demonstrated in the marsupials example.
Has a very small user base and limited documentation, relying on a few contributors as credited in the README, which can hinder troubleshooting and adoption.
Requires manual compilation, nginx configuration, and dependency installation via shell scripts, making it cumbersome compared to modern web frameworks with one-command setups.
Lacks common web framework features like user authentication, session management, or an ORM, focusing only on basic MVC and database access without extensibility options.
