When seeking a Windows Fortran compiler, several options are available, but selecting the right one can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the subject. The Microsoft Fortran compiler, purchased in 1997, is noted for its effectiveness, particularly in an interactive development environment. For Linux users, Vim is recommended as a strong choice for a Fortran compiler, highlighting its functionality and performance.

Any suggestion for a windows Fortran compiler? I've seen many around but it is somewhat difficult to choose when you don't know much about the subject!

If you have any suggestion for Linux feel free to add them anyway!

I purchased the Microsoft Fortran compiler back in about 1997. I was in graduate school, so I received the student discount. It worked great.
 
Well, if you're talking about an interactive development environment. I can't really recommend one to you.

However, as for a compiler, Vim works great on Linux.
