Syntran

About syntran

Syntran is my array-oriented, interpreted, statically type-inferred language, written in Fortran. It has a vaguely rust-like syntax. For documentation, see the project readme: https://github.com/JeffIrwin/syntran

Syntran explorer is a service where you can run syntran in a web browser

Disclaimer

  1. Your source is not saved. Refreshing the page, changing the sample selection dropdown, or any accidental keypress will erase your source permanently!
  2. Not only is the syntran explorer web service alpha, but the syntran language itself is alhpa. Do not expect stability
  3. Expect regular service interruptions for updates
  4. Availability is limited. Thanks to a free AWS trial, I have a server to run the backend. This service may not be available past July 2025
  5. This web service does not scale. I expect limited usage, but performance could degrade if there are a lot of users all on one server
  6. There is a 10 second timeout to prevent math bombs
  7. Syntran explorer is only intended as an introductory teaching tool, to lower barrier to entry, and to provide accessible samples. I recommend installing or building the syntran interpreter locally for anything beyond introduction, and not using syntran at all for production (see the alpha notice above)
