Different language, but Modula-3 is actively maintained again. https://github.com/modula3/cm3

Modula-3 descends from Modula-2, although not directly.

Some of the Xerox PARC Mesa/Cedar researchers went to work for DEC (later Compaq) and created Modula-2+ with feedback from Niklaus Wirth. Which had actually used Mesa as inspiration for Modula and Modula-2.

Eventually Modula-2+ evolved into Modula-3.

Nowadays I would say part of its ideas live on C#.
