It is not a secret that large scienti c codes wri en in Fortran (or in similar languages) are di cult to maintain. e program's complexity originates from the inter-dependencies between the various entities of the code. As the variables are more and more coupled, the programs become more and more di cult to maintain and to debug. To keep a program under control, the programmer has to be aware of all the consequences of any source code modi cation within all possible execution paths. When the code is large and wri en by multiple developers, this becomes almost impossible. However, a computer can easily handle such a complexity by taking care of all the dependencies between the variables, in a way similar to how GNU Make handles the dependencies between source les.
