I am working with Linux systems.

I am looking for a IDE where I can write up and compile FORTRAN codes.

However, currently I am also coding in bash, Octave, Python and R --- for these I already have separated IDE's. In the near future I might get started with C and C++.

So, if it exists, I would like to use an IDE that can handle in-one these many programming languages, or just most of them. This IDE should be freeware.

Which IDE's have this capability to host multiple languages?

EMACS or XEMACS, and numerous other versions can act as an editor and IDE for multiple languages by using the packages that are available.

A recommended package repository is MELPA, but there are others, there you will find 3,543 Packages including ones for:

  • FORTRAN
  • bash
  • C/C++/C#
  • Octave
  • Python
  • R
  • Just about everything.

EMACS is free, open source and available for most platforms.

Emacs with lsp-mode (https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode) and flycheck (https://www.flycheck.org) will be a good choice to target multiple languages simultaneously. According to lsp-mode supported languages table: fortran, c++, python, R and Julia are already supported
