Modula-2 is like the more organized cousin of Pascal - created by Niklaus Wirth in the 1970s. It introduced the module concept, making it easier to build and maintain larger programs. It was also among the early languages to include concurrency support via coroutines.

Designed with systems programming in mind, Modula-2 was used to develop systems such as the Lilith operating system. Although less common today, Modula-2 survives through projects like GNU Modula-2 and a community of enthusiasts. Resources and tools are still available for those curious about the language’s structure and history.

If you want to explore a language that pairs simplicity with features useful for systems work, Modula-2 offers an interesting historical perspective on clarity and structure.
