Also, if you like Modula-3, you'll probably love Nim.
It's also a GC-enabled systems programming language (someone even redid the OSdev minimal kernel in Nim), and the official FAQ lists Modula-3 as its top influence (in practice, it feels like Modula-3 semantics mapped to Python syntax).
- pjmlp 11y agoThanks for the hint, I know Nim. However I have came lately to the realisation that .NET and the JVM worlds already take too much of my time to look elsewhere. Due to my interest in programming languages I still keep on reading about new developments, but at the end of the day what matters is what my employer cares about.
