I don't have specific evidence but just from general use of the internet, it seems that Rust/Go are pretty hyped

I cannot compare excitement across programming language communities, but I can say that there has been a lot of progress in the Fortran community, centered around the site https://fortran-lang.org/ and forum https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/ and surveyed in a preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.07382. A package manager, standard library, and a compiler with a REPL (LFortran) are being developed, and an annual conference has been held twice https://tcevents.chem.uzh.ch/event/14/. The Fortran standard has coarrays for parallelism, which several compilers have implemented.A few years ago the main Fortran forum was comp.lang.fortran of Usenet, and although people did release tools and code, their efforts were scattered.
