Hello Ernie:
One of the main reasons why most Modula-2 implementations shines over other language implementations is Modula-2's strong typing.
Most errors are caught during compilation (which takes only seconds or minutes) as opposed to during run-time (which can takes months of testing before poping up).
JPI stated that they did not have enough time to implement a compile-time error for not having a return statement in a procedure (function) defined as having a return value in JPI M2 2.00 release 1.04.
I recently received release 1.05b, and they still did not implement this feature - even though it is present in JPI M2 1.17.
