Modula-2 is a general purpose language in the tradition of Pascal. Its most important features are block structure, modularity, separate compilation, static typing with strong type checking, and this even accross module boundaries. This implementation also offers as a language extension object oriented features including type extensions, type-bound procedures, and dynamic types.
