   As part of our computer science curriculum at Ohio State, we learn
Modula-2 as one of our 'first' languages (we also learn Pascal).  I've
checked with a few potential employers, and none of them need anyone with
Modula-2 experience.  Most don't even know what Modula-2 is.  I've been
told by professors that learning Modula-2 is a stepping stone for learning
other languages.  I don't buy that.  So my question is this:  has anyone
come across an employer who uses Modula-2?  It would be a shame to become
proficient in it and never use it again.

Thanks,

Steve
