[ILUG] introduction to programming

[Kevin Philp]

I think modula-3 eventually became Oberon. Oberon works under Linux and is 
still being actively developed. There is even a Visual Oberon project on 
Sourceforge that runs on Linux. Its essentially a modular form of Pascal with 
added object orientation and automatic garbage collection...Pascal for the 
21st century!
