Paul McJones @pmcjones posted a short history of Modula-3 with references to further resources. I didn't know a group of ex Xerox PARC researchers was part of the lineage of the language.

Modula-3 – Dusty Decks: Preserving historic software

#modula3 all the way! 😎

@ovid Oh boy, I'm one of those people who still look for the "perfect language" despite being aware that this doesn't even make sense. So I'll restrict myself to ones where I actually earned money with or did some semi-serious side project:

#BASIC, #C, / C++, x86 assembly, #TurboPascal, #Modula3, #Eiffel, #Java, #Tcl, #Perl, #scheme (R4RS), PL/SQL, #Python, #PHP, #ObjectiveC, #Javascript, #Go ...

Wishes: I wish I could go back to developing self-contained GUI programs. Would be great doing that in Tcl, Smalltalk or something lispy, but I'd even settle for MFC or Xt. Anything with servers just gets so unclean after a while.

I saw this in our #Pascal #XMPP #Jabber Group and wanted to share.

I guess I don't have to learn #Modula3 or #Modula2 (still maybe #Algol68 tho) now that I discovered #nimlang
