Why isn't Modula-3 dead? Two reasons, one involving existing users, the
other involving newcomers. Existing users won't switch until something
takes Modula-3's place. (C++ isn't it, nor is any scripting language,
nor is any VM-style language like Java or .NET.) Newcomers will continue
to find Modula-3 intriguing because programs written in Modula-3 are very
pretty/readable, and in general if something looks like it should work,
it works.
If you want a deeper answer, you'll find it within yourself after you try
out Modula-3 for some small project. If that's too much work, then look
at the source code of "CVSup" and try to lay out a design for a similar
program in pretty much any other language, including scripting languages
or VM-style languages.
