Modula 2 was quite popular on the Commodore Amiga where C compiler where a bit so so (or very expensive) for quite some time, but in the end the PC won.

If you are looking for a Oberon compiler that is easy to port then you could consider OBNC. http://miasap.se/obnc/ The compiler is written in C and should compile on many POSIX compatible systems. Works like a charm o

I think everything you say is explained correctly, just that you describe a very special fringe case. The variables in your `declare` block only need to exit during the if, so this is one way to manage their lifespan. In Ada as in almost ev

I think Ada get’s quite close to that approach. Mostly you describe data structures you need, rather a representation the computer understands. The compiler is supposed to sort out the transition from programmer need to computer need. E.g.

I wonder, is this not a prime use case for Ada or even SPARK (the provable sub set of Ada) ? You definitely can use C++ as well, but in a project like this, what would be the reasons not to use Ada?

I think currently the main reason why not more factories produce the BionTech/Pfizer Vaccine is that it is quite difficult to manufacture and so it takes time to set up additional capacity. As far as I know several competitors are in d

I don’t think that you are limited regarding newer language features when you develop for embedded devices or limited in the use of more safety focused languages. E.g. Ada, despite being in the older age for computer languages was specifica

2GB is ok for what you normally do with a phone or tablet. Manage small chunks of data, writing, browsing, little development, some games. I have used the Original Pinebook for about a year as my main private laptop and can say it was an en

How does an audience follow a medium complex subject if not with some visual aid to help to keep the big picture? No quote to back this up, but the articles main point really does not reflect my experience. Visual aid can be a lot, useful

What sometimes puzzels me is that ERLANG is described as quirky and difficult to read. I find that once you learned a bit about it for just one day or so it is a very simple to write language that just flows on the screen from your thoughts
