@awarzynski I'll echo your comment that "... most people new to LLVM Flang use flang rather than flang-new and most (all?) find it very confusing."  I've known of flang in various forms (including a flang predated classic flang) and yet I'm still finding new information that clears up confusion on my part.  I only just realized today that the phrase "LLVM flang" is used to differentiate from "classic flang." And although I've known about armflang for several years and AOCC (which seemingly should be AOCCF or some such) for a month or so, I only just realized today that they are based on classic flang, which finally makes sense because I couldn't figure out how they could be based on what is currently on the main branch of LLVM flang.  For users and testers, it will be really nice if the community coalesces around the main branch of LLVM flang as the default meaning when someone says "flang" and if that default flang produces executables even if  it's buggy.
