Differentiable Fortran Arrives via LFortran + Enzyme Autodiff
Pasteur Labs / Hacker News·low signal
A Pasteur Labs / Tesseract engineering post (July 9) demonstrates differentiable Fortran by pairing the LFortran compiler with Enzyme, enabling automatic differentiation of legacy Fortran scientific code — relevant to physics-ML and scientific-computing builders who want gradients through decades-old numerical codebases without a rewrite. Early HN traction (14 points); niche but a concrete new tooling capability.
