LFortran Compiles 60% of SciPy

With successful compilation of dftatom in October 2023, embarking to the new year with a remarkable stride, we are delighted to announce that LFortran can now successfully compile 9 out of the 15 Fortran packages within the SciPy library without requiring any modifications.

This is the fifth third-party production-grade code that LFortran can compile. The progress bar towards beta has thus reached 5/10.

LFortran can now compile and pass tests written for scipy.special.specfun, scipy.special.cdflib, scipy.special.amos, scipy.special.mach, scipy.optimize.minpack, scipy.optimize.minpack2, scipy.interpolate.fitpack, scipy.integrate.quadpack, and scipy.integrate.mach.
