Hi TUHS folks!

After having reincarnated ratfor, I am wondering about Stuart Feldman's
efl (extended fortran language). It was a real compiler that let you
define structs, and generated more or less readable Fortran code.

I have the impression that it was pretty cool, but that it just didn't
catch on.  So:

- Did anyone here ever use it personally?

- Is my impression that it didn't catch on correct? Or am I ignorant?

Thoughts etc. welcome. :-)

Thanks,

Arnold
