OK I got some response on my GSoC Fortran project call, so in interest of that I'd like to have a quick poll (preferably without going into details at this stage):
Is it OK to have nice and convenient wrapping of Fortran libraries as an additional feature of core Cython? [ ] Yes, that would be grand [ ] No, that would bloat the language and/or the compiler/project too much, I'd prefer to see this in a standalone tool/plugin The most basic examples could be done at a "C library level", however delegating this to a C library or tool one wouldn't be able to simply pass an "object[int, ndim=2]" to Fortran and have Fortran access it through the buffer interface (as it lacks a canonical C representation). So making the Python buffer interface and Fortran array types play nicely together is a reason to have Cython-specific support for this.
