|->...who ist really using |->Modula-2 (no universities please, just the real world)? I think neither Pascal nor Modula(-2) was ever "alive" in YOUR sense. In Germany I know of only two (small) companies using Modula-2 in some extent. C++? If it "replaces" C (and in the mid-/longterm Cobol & Fortran - ahh, never ;^) it would be an improvement anyway. |->So what is the presence and the future of Modula-2? In your sense it's dead; but consider Oberon-2, up to now Wirth's latest baby. I hope THIS language will make it's way into "...the real world", since it is small & beautiful, clear & concise, ......, all in all, it's not a stillborn child of some "WG...". Wirth's languages appear on the scene like desert prophets.(Computing Surveys) uli -- OOOO--Open-Object-Oriented-Ogre
