In Modula-2 but not Modula-3
Variant records
In Modula-3 but not Modula-2
Objects with single inheritance and default methods
Garbage collection
Exception handling
Safe modules
... I have the feeling that something else goes here ...
Of course, there are other differences.
If you're familiar with Mesa and Cedar, Modula-3 is to Modula-2 as
Cedar is to Mesa (roughly).
