Thought you might like to know that Fortran now appears on the Great
Language Shootout:

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org

I have already submitted fixes for sum-file and statistics tests.

One thing that this has highlighted is that the sum-file program is
about 10 times slower than the corresponding c-program. I expected
variation but 10x seems excessive to me - is this what is to be
expected? Is it a compiler problem? Any ideas?

! Linux - using the Intel Fortran90 compiler:
!
! ifort sum.f90 -O3 -static-libcxa -o sum
!
program sum
   implicit none
   integer :: datum, s
   s = 0
   do
      read(5,*,end=10) datum
      s = s + datum
   end do
10 continue
   write(*,'(i0)') s
end program sum
