struct --- Convert Fortran into Ratfor
could be useful for proot:
This is Brenda Baker's struct program. It converts plain old Fortran into Rational Fortran (ratfor). The code here is taken from the TUHS archives, starting with the V7 version, and progressing through V8 and V10.

Solid - "social linked data"
Solid (https://solid.mit.edu/) was created by the inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Its mission is to reshape the web as we know it. Solid will foster a new breed of applications with capabilities above and beyond anything that exists today.Sun Mar 15 19:03:18 2020 - permalink -
Solid (derived from "social linked data") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on Linked Data principles. Solid is modular and extensible and it relies as much as possible on existing W3C standards and protocols.
https://solid.inrupt.com/how-it-works
Within the Solid ecosystem, you decide where you store your data. Photos you take, comments you write, contacts in your address book, calendar events, how many miles you run each day from your fitness tracker… they’re all stored in your Solid POD. This Solid POD can be in your house or workplace, or with an online Solid POD provider of your choice. Since you own your data, you’re free to move it at any time, without interruption of service.- https://solid.inrupt.com/

Theoretical Physics Reference
The Theoretical Physics Reference is an attempt to derive all theoretical physics equations (that are ever needed for applications) from the general and special relativity and the standard model of particle physics.Tue Feb 25 12:11:40 2020 - permalink -
The goals are:
All calculations are very explicit, with no intermediate steps left out.
Start from the most general (and correct) physical theories (general relativity or standard model) and derive the specialized equations from them (e.g. the Schrödinger equation).
Math is developed in the math section (not in the physics section).
Theory should be presented as short and as explicitly as possible. Then there should be arbitrary number of examples, to show how the theory is used.
There should be just one notation used throughout the book.
It should serve as a reference to any physics equation (exact derivation where it comes from) and the reader should be able to understand how things work from this book, and be ready to understand specialized literature.- https://ondrejcertik.com/projects/contributions/tfr/
