Descendants Modula-2

Wirth's Modula (1975) — Pascal's sibling for systems programming — added modules, low-level access, and concurrency primitives in a language smaller than Pascal.\n\nIt was a bridge design — Modula-2 followed in 1978 — and its module concept is the direct ancestor of every module system since.
