Hi Matthias, Since Fortran is pretty central to this discussion, any chance you could give a quick overview of the extent to which Sage depends on Fortran in 2021? I was reading about pyodide [1] recently and they had to work very hard to build scipy for webassembly without using Fortran. I think they get "far enough" for their purposes using f2c, and by possibly disabling a handful of modules. I'm curious what in Sage depends on Fortran these days, and to what extent it depends on Fortran.
For what it is worth, I remember making the first gfortran package for Sage long ago, and at the time any sort of Fortran support on MacOS was a nightmare. I imagine things might be better today, due to Flang, which seems to be a fortran frontend (like Clang) for LLVM. That seems likely to work well on MacOS.
