Modula-3

Abstract

Modula-3 is not an extension of Modula-2, but a new language in the spirit of Pascal and Modula-2. It combines the best features of a modular, strongly typed language with support for object-oriented programming (OOP), exceptions, and concurrency. As a result, Modula-3 is an effective tool for building large, maintainable, robust systems. Modula-3 makes a serious attempt to bring together the long-term maintainability of Ada, the simplicity of Modula-2, and the modern OOP facilities of C++. The result is a clean language that provides programmers who want safety and maintainability with a language to carry them through the 1990s.
