Although C probably counted as a modern language back then (after all it's not B) today I think "modern" probably means at least Java and likely something from this century like Rust or Typescript.

Oolite is normally quoted at this point. I think it's in Objective C? But exactly how much it relates to the original game's code, I don't know. https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite

  anything would be great. Oolite does look like Mac, done in COCO? Even Mac/Coco looks dated. Not the screens, they actual look is great. A Rust version would be cool.

"Modern" means "we fixed the deficiencies of the old project and introduced our own". When I read "modern" I understand it's likely to be a variation of the second system effect [1]. When it's not just advertisement/PR BS. When it's part of a request, it generally means "I don't know tech XYZ but I'm pretty sure I could enjoy it and contribute if it was using a tech I know". Which is generally a form of procrastination. I dislike Javascript and I don't know Objective-C, and it didn't prevent me to tinker with Oolite, which uses both, because I like the game (now, tbh assembly is "hardcore" so OP's request is legitimate).
