Only one way to change that...
I suspect a careful review of the gfortran progress will show
that it only gained traction when programmers contracted to improve
it came on board. Expecting a 'grass-roots' fortran project to
viable is a bit unrealistic. Only if FSF gcc became unbuildable
on darwin might a company feel the need to expend funds on such
a project.
In that case let's hope it becomes unbuildable sooner rather than
later.
Or, perhaps let's hope that people exist with motive, means and
opportunity to contribute to gcc and keep it working on OS X, and are
able to do so. I would rather not lose future updates to the only
fast, free Fortran compiler on OS X. I cannot comprehend why you wish
for some of us to lose our tools with no fast, free replacement even
vaguely in sight.
