Awesome. Thanks for posting. I miss my modula-2 so much I wrote a bunch of editor macros for Lazarus that allows me to write slightly modula-2 like code in the editor.

Since GCC 14, that GNU Modula-2 is part of GCC.
Also XDS has been freely available for a couple of years now.
What I miss is that there is no modern equivalent of formating keywords on save, I helped with one plugin for Sublime Text on Oberon, maybe need to do the same for VSCode.

I made Pascal for 8080 in about a week in 1979. How is it possible you may ask?
Well son, I had Lisp and I just added Pascal translator. Only caveat was that it ignored type declarations and such useless academic shit. Because I had sort-of compiler too, it was not really bad when compared to Turbo-Pascal.
