| Modula-2 + | |
|---|---|
| Paradigms : | Iterative , structured , modular |
| Publishing year: | 1984 |
| Developer: | SRC |
| Typing : | Strong , static |
| Influenced by: | Pascal , ALGOL , Modula-2 |
| Affected: | Modula-3 |
| Operating system : | Topaz |
The programming language Modula-2 + is an extension of Modula-2 . Development was at the SRC in Palo Alto , California. Modula-2 + is Modula-2 with the extensions exception handling and activity carrier . Paul Rovner led the group in developing the programming language .
Extensions in Modula-2 +:
implementation
Modula-2 + was used to program Topaz, the distributed operating system for the SRC Firefly multiprocessor workstation. Most of Topaz's applications were programmed in Modula-2+. The extension of the language took place with the development of the system. The language is of no practical relevance today, but it had a great influence on other languages such as Modula-3 .
With the takeover of DEC , the development of Modula-2 + went to Compaq . The company Hewlett-Packard finally took over Compaq and made the SRC reports publicly available.
