Ahh the warm feelings of memories. My first job involved Modula2 and the Brief editor. As I recalled Modula2 was supposed to be the successor of Pascal but I guess it never really took off. At least I've never met anyone who did any programming in Modula2.

This reminds me of .kkrieger[1], a game made by German demo group. It's a 3D game where the executable at 96k is smaller than most readme.txt files for other games. If we cut down all the abstractions layers we're using every day we could create amazingly small program than ran at blistering pace. Of cause development time would explode :-)
