Modula-2 – a blast from my past. Back in the ‘80s I used it to implement a prototype distributed OS (as designed by a team at JPL) on VAXen. Logitech (!) had a really nice VAX compiler back then. One of the most productive 6-month stretches of my career. Luon looks like an answer to my unspoken prayers. Thank you!
Welcome. Actually we learned Modula-2 when I was at ETH in the eighties, and I had even a job at DEC Switzerland for some time where I had to develop course ware for the VAX Modula-2 compiler, but it was from DEC as far as I remember (probably this one: https://github.com/GunterMueller/DEC-Modula-2). Luon is actually a subset of my Oberon+ language; maybe you want to have a look at it: https://oberon-lang.github.io/.
I love Oberon: spent a few years mainly working in Oberon Microsystems Oberon/F aka Component Pascal, another beautiful language.
