Takes me back to the past when Metrowerks created a Modula-2 compiler for the Mac:

Didn't know they started out with Wirth's compiler. Picked the best one. Then market rejected it. Then pivoted to a more successful approach supporting whatever crud was popular. The recurring pattern. Also didn't know they supported that many platforms. Impressive.
