I'd like to second Louis-Dominique's statement.  We've ported the m3 core/lib libraries 
to a more exotic environment: the SPIN kernel.  We started out with very little experience
with Modula-3 and its runtime.  We spent some time getting rid of code in the libraries that
uses floats, as we did not want to use the FPU in the kernel.  Getting M3's runtime working in
the kernel took little time, though we're constantly refining it as our operating system
evolves and we find performance bottlenecks.
