Hi Avstin,

> I'm completely new to LLVM (I first heard about it when I happened to
come across this "/usr/ports/devel/llvm" directory in FreeBSD and was
curious what it was.)  Does LLVM support Fortran 2008?  Is there a
"Flang"?

the dragonegg and llvm-gcc front-ends support Fortran.  These are both gcc with
LLVM replacing gcc's optimizers and code generators.  Dragonegg uses gcc-4.5
so
is more likely to support recent Fortran constructs (llvm-gcc uses gcc-4.2).
See http://dragonegg.llvm.org/

Ciao, Duncan.
