Where and for what is Modula-2 used?
A1. Modula-2 is widely used for teaching the fundamentals of sound programming techniques, data structures, and software engineering in many parts of the world. It has been the language of choice in much of Europe, though Java and C++ have made great inroads. Modula-2 has features that make it superior to other languages for large projects and for programming and real time controllers.
