- |->...who ist really using

-
- I think neither Pascal nor Modula(-2) was ever "alive" in YOUR sense.
- In Germany I know of only two (small) companies using Modula-2 in some extent.
- C++?
- If it "replaces" C (and in the mid-/longterm Cobol & Fortran - ahh, never ;^)
- it would be an improvement anyway.
-
- |->So what is the presence and the future of Modula-2?
-
- In your sense it's dead; but consider Oberon-2, up to now Wirth's latest baby.
- I hope THIS language will make it's way into "...the real world",
- since it is small & beautiful, clear & concise, ......, all in all,
- it's not a stillborn child of some "WG...".
-
- Wirth's languages appear on the scene like desert prophets.(Computing Surveys)
