Prospero Fortran has been available (from the U.K.) for, oh, a month or two.
Unfortunately, it was not reviewed too positively in the latest Antic.  The
reviewer did some sort of benchmark, and probably did it wrong, because the
guy I know who has Prospero Fortran wrote the same benchmark and it executed
in about 1/20th of the time that the reviewer listed.
Prospero has ads in Antic, I think.  Check it out there.
