LFortran and Enzyme enable differentiable programming in Fortran

Differentiable programming allows automatic computation of derivatives. Fortran, a long‑standing scientific language, lacked native support. LFortran provides a modern compiler for the language. Enzyme is a tool that adds automatic differentiation capabilities. The integration combines LFortran with Enzyme to enable differentiable Fortran. Developers can now compute gradients directly within Fortran code. This capability benefits scientific computing and machine learning. The blog outlines the technical steps and potential applications.
