Modula 2 seems to not have libraries for things we might need these days, such as file format support for reading zip and read/write of png, gif, etc. Also TCP/IP comms?

There are libraries around,

Naturally given the way it has been largely ignored in the last 30 years, the choice is limited, yet GCC developers considered it had a community big enough to integrate GNU Modula-2 as standard frontend on GCC 14.
