Better late than never: The (German) documentation for Megamax Modula-2 (for Atari ST systems) is now available in PDF format, too.

I was listening to an old #oxide podcast about #Rust and our individual perception of beauty related to computer languages.

Well, my personal beautiful languages are #modula2 and #objective_c. #Swift was about to classify as such, but took a wrong turn and followed the rocky path of C++ 😒

Well, I may have started #aoc2024 a day late, but I wrote a second implementation of a program to calculate the first part of day one in the CP/M version of Turbo #Modula2, which ran fine on #MSX: https://git.sr.ht/~aperezdc/aoc2024/tree/main/item/day01/day01.mod — it
does take its time to run, but it does run!

Amusingly, Turbo Modula-2 gives me the vibe that it got a few things right that made it afterwards into Turbo Pascal. And it's pretty speedy for a compiler that generates native code on a 4 MHz-ish Z80.

My main complain so far is that there is no batch compilation mode, so every time I want to rebuild there's a few keystrokes one has to enter by hand. Granted, it may be automated using NTVCM's key file input flag, but then it's harder to see error messages.

And about error messages: we are spoiled by modern compilers. Turbo Modula-2 has reasonable error messages for the time, but they are abysmal compared to anything coming out of a compiler from the last twenty years. At least using the built-in editor will open the file at the approximate location of parsing errors. Amazingly, compilation may resume from the changed location onwards, incrementally, which I find mind-boggling for something that runs on 64 KiB of memory.

Thanks to Marc Poulhiès, @thesamesam and @mjw there is now a GCC full languages (C, C++, Ada, D, Fortran, Go, Modula2, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Rust and LTO plus libjit) with --enable-checking=yes,extra,rtl CI builder for https://builder.sourceware.org

https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/gcc-fullest-debian-amd64

It does a bootstrap and runs all testsuites in about 2 hours, every 3 hours. All test results end up in bunsen.
