These are the projects that I would like to push (in no particular order): - Simplify scalarizer API and usage, - Create internal APIs (basically split gfortran.h and/or trans.h to different pieces) and add unit testing for them, - Move code from class.cc to a trans-class.cc and get rid of the class artifacts around the class descriptor and vtable in the whole frontend. - Defer all work done at parsing time to resolution time, so that the parser's job reduces to just recognizing and recording statements, - Avoid simplifying intrinsics before checking they are valid, - Improve module loading (there is PR98426, possibly a few others), - Array descriptor reform (does it still apply?). The above are, I think, long and/or difficult, and a bit unrewarding as they have virtually no user-visible impact, and it's unlikely to get funding for them. But maybe we could apply for a package project including user-visible changes and less visible ones. The projects proposed by Paul all seem worth pursuing. If there is only one, my vote goes for fixing the PDTs. Cheers. Mikael
