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.

@amoroso @pmcjones Ah, blast from the past! I used Modula-3 in the 90s, when we were thinking about using type systems to manage high-performance programming. Really interesting language

@goosey Me too. At the time I couldn't afford a machine that could run Modula-3.
