ETH was also the home of Niklaus Wirth and all his research in safe systems programming languages with Modula-2(Lillith), Oberon(Native Oberon, EthOS), Active Oberon (BlueOS) and the commercial descendent Component Pascal.

In the 2.4kbps times (.br speeds at the time) I'd print the Modula-3 manuals and have fun at home. And then I discovered I was late to the party and things were slowing down for those languages.

I wish m3 had caught on. Really liked it.

I was lucky to still be part of the party and enjoy systems programming with Turbo Pascal (5.5, 6.0, 7), before I was introduced to C.

If you still would like to find Modula-3 related stuff, check http://apotheca.hpl.hp.com/ftp/pub/DEC/SRC/ .

There is a lot of Modula/Oberon feel to Google's Go. Rob Pike seems to be a fan.
