All three of the languages you list are still actively updated. Coincidentally, the latest standard for all three of them is from 2023(ish):

- Cobol 2023: https://www.incits.org/news-events/news-coverage/available-n... (random press release since a PDF of the standard didn't immediately show up in a search)

C2Y has a fair number of already-accepted features as well and it's relatively early in the standard release cycle: https://thephd.dev/c2y-hitting-the-ground-running

Can’t compile with just a PDF file, though.

Yes, compilers will take some time to implement the new standards.

C23 seems to have decent support from a few compilers, with GCC leading the pack: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/compiler_support/23.html

gcobol supports (or at least aims to support?) COBOL 2023: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-15.1.0/gcobol/gcobol.html. Presumably there are other compilers working on support as well.

Intel's Fortran compiler and LFortran have partial support for Fortran 2023 (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t..., https://docs.lfortran.org/en/usage/). I'd guess that support both from these compilers and from other compilers (Flang?) would improve over time as well..

Flang does already support warnings for features that have breaking changes in F’2023.
