That is what happened with coarrays (which was called F-- before), the object-oriented features, however, were not based on existing extensions. For example, neither the Intel compiler, gfortran, nor g95 supported any of those features at the time of the article's writing, and the NAG compiler provided only partial support[0].

Both IBM and Cray had nearly all the features implemented per "Data enhancements and object orientation" on page 6.

Yes. That document is from 2007, which is three years after Fortran 2003 was standardized.
