Modula-2

Development tools · Tutorials and FAQs · External resources

Modula-2 was developed in the late 1970s by Niklaus Wirth as a successor to Pascal. Unlike standard Pascal, it is based on separately-compiled modules which explicitly list what features they export to the outside world and what features of other modules they need to import for their implementation.
