In a way, it is the opposite of this fortan to python. For reference, I was thinking of writing a Fortran 90 "port" of qutip package. I know it will difficult to emulate everything in Fortran 90 due the lack of OOP (Object oriented programming) as in python. But well, I used to code in Fortran 90 before, so I still kind of like it. I know this is a silly reason. So, I am asking this question just to make a estimate how much work this conversion will entail. This will enable me to see when in my life, I could at least think of trying to do it.

    Why not use F2003 which has better OO support? You could use it as an opportunity to learn the new stuff – Ian Bush Aug 06 '19 at 17:14
  • yes. That seems to be a good idea. – Tejas Shetty Aug 06 '19 at 17:19

    If you need a reference for Fortran OOP, I'd highly recommend "Modern Fortran Explained: Incorporating Fortran 2018" by Metcalf et al. as a reference and textbook (CoI: I have no relationship with the authors or the publisher) – Scientist Aug 07 '19 at 15:25
