Hello Alex,

I might be wrong (I'd love to be wrong here!) but I think this is a
bit too ambitious.  Given that you have to write tests *as you
implement the features*, handle corner cases (and one has to actually
discover corner cases from the standard, if one is not familiar with
Fortran) and produce diagnostics for invalid code, I don't think it is
possible to implement all of the frontend + codegen within 12 weeks.
