We&#x27;re in luck, Animats: a group is reviving and modernizing Modula-2. So far, most of their decisions sound very rational in the FAQ:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;modula-2.info&#x2F;m2r10&#x2F;pmwiki.php&#x2F;Project&#x2F;FAQ" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;modula-2.info&#x2F;m2r10&#x2F;pmwiki.php&#x2F;Project&#x2F;FAQ</a><p>One of few I enjoyed reading on new language work. The design goals are sensible, too, given Wirth languages have already achieved them. I&#x27;m still for ditching the uppercase and letting editors take care of that part. Don&#x27;t want carpal pinky syndrome hitting shift or caps lock all the time haha.<p>Anyway, some good news seeing Modula-2 get revived and with a M2-to-C compiler in works given its my favorite C alternative. Has a nice compromise between their simple, low-level, high-performance needs and my preference for safe, easier-to-integrate, maintainable and compiles fast. Your thoughts?
