This is... built using Fortran, NICE.

Writing a TOML parser in Fortran is precisely my definition of FUN.

And it was built in Haskell in the first version.

https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm/pull/420

The first version was actually in Rust, then Haskell and finally in Fortran.

this is the code for the TOML parser

https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm/blob/master/src/fpm/toml...

which seems to use another package

https://toml-f.github.io/toml-f/

It sounded like a crazy idea at first, but then we discussed it and realized this is exactly what we should do. It makes perfect sense.

FUN == FU*ing Nightmare? ;)
