IIRC, there was a BYTE magazine article about Modula-2 once, maybe written by Dick Pountain, a regular BYTE columnist from the UK.
That is where I heard about the language, and I remember thinking that it seemed good and useful, based on the description, and due to having heavily used and liked Turbo Pascal earlier.
I somehow never got to know there was a Turbo Modula-2, although I did know about Turbo Prolog, and may have tried it out briefly.

There are several other issues with Modula-2 articles as well in the Archive, you may find the one you're thinking of if it's not in this issue.
- fuzztester 2y agoOh, thanks a lot for this. I was just vaguely remembering that there might have been a whole BYTE issue about it, not just an article, like there were whole issues for Lisp and Smalltalk, but was not sure. Very good to know. Will check those articles out.
