> Modula. Modula 2 and 3 were reasonably good languages. Oberon was a flop. DEC was into Modula, but Modula went down with DEC.

If you appreciate Modula's design, take a look at Nim[1].

I remember reading the Wikipedia page for Modula-3[2] and thinking "huh, that's just like Nim" in every other section.
