- Has anyone attempted to produce a formal description of Modula3 (beyond the
- description of the syntax)? One possiblity would be a "natural semantics"
- describing either or both the static and dynamic semantics (e.g. "The
- Definition of Standard ML" by Milner, Tofte, and Harper). Another option
- would be a denotational treatment of the dynamic semantics (e.g. "Revised^3
- Report on the Algoritmmic Language Scheme").
