Modula-2 should still be a term for some. Swiss creator Niklaus Wirth developed the language in 1978, when he was looking for solutions to two of PASCAL's fundamental problems: modularity and multithreading.

Even today, Modula-2 compilers are available for a wide range of architectures. Among them are PPC and M68k but also x86. And if you have made your first steps in programming with PASCAL (👋), you will quickly feel at home in Modula-2.

And should you also own a CP/M system, then the whole thing becomes exciting, because there are several Modula-2 compilers available for CP/M. Which one is the best option?

Lawrence Woodman has looked at all the contenders in detail, and summarized his learnings in an informative article.

CP/M is far from irrelevant even in 2022. Modula-2 is a great option to program in, and here you find all the info you need, to get started.
