This ranking is to be interpreted as a wish list for what features should be implemented first. The list is taken from a short paper by Dan Nagle, "What's new in Fortran 2000?" Below is the results of the poll based on roughly a 9 point scale (1 of lowest importance and 9 the highest): _5.2_ enhancements to derived types _5.4_ more object oriented programming support _4.3_ the ASSOCIATE construct, data enhancements _5.1_ input/output enhancements _6.2_ procedure pointers, scoping enhancements _4.1_ support for IEC 60559 (IEEE 754) arithmetic _8.1_ interoperability with the C language procedures and data _2.2_ support for international usage _4.9_ enhanced integration with the host processor From this list it is clear that interoperability with C is the most important item to the respondents.
