i switched back to C some years ago, and as much as i'd prefer M3, the
fact
that there are two incompatible language variants (CM3, PM3) and that
every
OS needs extensive library-level ****ting to map structures in
/usr/include/sys
and that it's not a standard backend for GCC means that it "falls just
short"
of my minimum requirements for a development platform.
which is a darned shame. code written in M3 looks like what it does, and
does
what it looks like, to a higher degree than in any other language i've
ever
used. and unlike CL or C++, it's *fast*. as fast as C in most
situations.
what i guess i need is some interns who want to work on "Common Modula-3"
as
a single-standard based on GCC4 with intent to make the backend part of
GCC.
(there's no formal application process for it yet, just send me some
e-mail.)
