It’s kind of wild how much work really smart people will do to get python to act like Fortran. This is why R is such a great language IMO. Get your data read and arrays in order in dynamic, scheme-like language, then just switch to Fortran and write actual Fortran like an adult.

This. Writing Fortran is easy as hell nowadays.

But yeah, I learned Fortran to use with R lol. And it is nice. Such easy interop.
