  • CM3 repo woke up?

    From Mark Carroll@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 5 10:42:06 2021
    Seeing all the activity at https://github.com/modula3/cm3/ has made me
    wonder what's going on, where the active usage now is. I did really
    enjoy getting to use Modula-3 years ago but I hadn't realized it's still usefully alive, I never seem to run into anybody else who knows and
    likes it.

    Yes, recently (I mean in these years) lot of nice works have been done. Coroutines have been added to the language by an Intel developer.

    I'm curious to know if they use opencm3 internally.

    Jay Krell is doing some interesting refactoring, especially to the build
    system (years ago it was hard to build it). They also added C, C++ and
    LLVM backend and support for further architectures (e.g. RISCV).

    I guess a complete changelog would be very long.
