I actually worked with TopSpeed Modula-2 to develop software for air traffic control training simulators in the late 90s. Interesting language, wouldn't mind finding a copy to play with in my MS-DOS VM some day.
- atombender 4y agoI found a version of Topspeed Modula 2 from 1993 [1], which is after the JPI-Clarion merger. Someone also reverse-engineered Turbo Modula-2 [2], which apparently was the original codebase.

- mrlonglong 4y agoThanks, I'm playing with that on my MS-DOS VM now.
- pantulis 4y agoThe TopSpeed Modula-2 compiler was fast and the IDE was pretty interesting, you could customize almost anything, far beyond what the Turbos from Borland offered. Also it included a demo that run concurrent coroutines on a regular 8086 computer, I think it was a traffic simulator. Pretty cool stuff!
