[llvm-dev] flang in llvm.org source tree

[David Greene via llvm-dev]

Yes, the projects are proceeding in parallel.  As far as I understand
things, development of "flang" will stop when "f18" reaches feature
parity.  You would have to ask the NVIDIA people for more information.
I'm just going on information presented at the Webinar a couple of
months back.
