Cray and IBM Fortran compilers are almost complete w.r.t to the 2003
standard but other vendors like Intel, Sun etc. are certainly behind.
A good read would be

With regards to the features in the OOP chapter of Metcalf, Reid &
Cohen, IBM's implementation is complete as far as I know. I have
written a few thousand lines of code that exercise nearly every
feature in that chapter.

The sad part is that compilers from both Cray and IBM are platform
specific/non-free and few people have access to them.

Intel and Sun OTOH offer free Fortran compilers which you can run on
any x86 box running linux.

Maybe that's a lesson...sell, don't give away your product so that you can afford to put the necessary resources toward updating to the latest standard? (devil's advocate...)
