I would dearly love to see a full-blown Modula-3 revival. It's one of these old, moribund languages that I have a huge soft spot for, especially since I'm a Pythonista and large parts of Python were lifted directly from Modula-3.
I also kind of have a thing for innovative languages that never really took off. Not just M3, but I'm also deeply fascinated by Algol 68.
- brakmic 11y agoI have some problems with compiling the latest sources from their GitHub pages. I'm using Win 10 x64 and don't know if this is a Win-only issue. I'll also try to build it under Linux Mint. Here's my GitHub issue: https://github.com/modula3/cm3/issues/8 https://github.com/modula3/cm3/issues/8 But at least the compiler from 2011 (v.5.9.0) can be directly downloaded and used: https://modula3.elegosoft.com/cm3/ https://modula3.elegosoft.com/cm3/ Regards,
- brakmic 11y agoI'm currently trying to compile the Modula-3 sources from GitHub. It's been a long time since I have done this. I'm fighting with the compiler because it refuses to compile under x64 arch. Also, one must use an older m3-compiler to compile the newer sources. sigh I think I should write a little tutorial for us, 80/90es kids (and older) ... you know, nostalgia, mid-life-crisis etc. ;) Regards,
