Fortran-Julia conversion script

fortran-julia.jl

#=
This julia script converts fortran 90 code into julia.
It uses naive regex replacements to do as much as possible,
but the output WILL need further cleanup.

Known conversion problems such as GOTO are commented and marked with FIXME

Most variable declaration lines are entirely deleted, which may or
may not be useful. 


To run from a shell: 

julia fortran-julia.jl filename.f90

Output is written to filename.jl.

@rafaqz could you please add a licence header (MIT?) so I can include this in another project and credit you?

@dmey I added an MIT license to the text

@rafaqz thanks!

@rafaqz I am getting error ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching replace(::String, ::Regex, ::typeof(lowercase)) I am using Julia1.7

I was able to solve simply by switching to replace(code, f=> r)

Hi all, I've piled one translator here
