I'm Nick and I'm usually a full-stack JS developer. Fortran is something foundational to languages we use today, and my professors and parents would talk about it, but I didn't even know what it looked like. I noticed recently that Fortran repos on GitHub accept nearly every pull request (https://medium.com/@mapmeld/fortran-culture-on-github-a257dd...).

One day I wondered if there was a Fortran server, did some Googling, and found a tutorial from 8-10 years ago (http://flibs.sourceforge.net/fortran-fastcgi-nginx.html). I started out updating the tutorial, requesting some missing files and missing instructions from the authors (almost every Fortran info on the web assumes that you already know how to compile and run your program). Once I was halfway down the rabbit hole, updating this tutorial, it felt right to keep it going
