Ah, Modula-2.
Ah, Modula-2. Yes. Very popular in the corporate world; huge hit on Github/Bitbucket as well. Lots of libraries, web frameworks....up-and-comer, for sure. I hear we'll soon be writing iOS apps in it? Occam? No comment. At least Ada is being actively used in something, but Modula-2 and Occam? Seriously? You can find any idea currently in use that was probably first academically tested out and "proven" in "Obscure-language-nobody-ever-uses-anymore-on-any-real-projects". The fact that Go, this supposedly boring, unoriginal language is actually taking off in popularity, is for some reason a huge pain point for certain people who refuse to acknowledge that the "plebs" who don't bow before Haskell or similar are allowed to program in something they enjoy and that brings something new to the table, for them . New for them. New for corporate America, new for real projects, new for actual people getting actual work done, on actual projects, in actual companies, getting paid actual money for it. How did Go haters ever survive the rise of Ruby, for example? A language which brought absolutely nothing interesting to the table, yet after people experienced RoR became more popular, in one month, than Occam, CSP, Modula-2, Oberon, combined, times 1000? You guys must have been foaming at the mouth for years . Occam? Modula-2? Jesus Christ. You think Go's success is undeserved? I can't wait to see your reactions when Swift surpasses "My-favorite-obscure-language-X" in number of people/libraries/projects using it before the next WWDC.
