I am the one who develops PRIMA ( http://www.libprima.net ) and made the original post at Fortran Discourse (https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/which-compilers-are-a...).

I learned about CI in 2021, when PRIMA was (fortunately) still in the early stage. I agree that I am behind "the industry" in learning CI.

However, note that I am an applied mathematician, who has been trained and working in Math departments. I have no background in computer science, although I took programming courses twenty (!) years ago. My interest is primarily in mathematical theory. I could have a perfect career without doing any coding at all. In other words, I do not belong to "the industry".

I have been developing PRIMA because it is a commitment to the late Professor Powell, and because I believe it is important to the community. I do not enjoy coding so much. I hope to spend more time on mathematics.

That said, I hope it is understandable why I am "a bit slower than the rest of the industry in this regard".

I do not think I am a good representative of the Fortran/HPC community in any sense.

Thanks.
