On: Modern Object Pascal Introduction for Programmers

[klipt]

Golang is also designed to compile very fast.

[baranul → klipt]

This includes some languages inspired by Golang, that have "inherited" Pascal influences, such as Vlang. There's also a focus on fast compilation and being useful for prototyping.

Yes, I do appreciate Go's existence as well.

[jan_m_savage → applfanboysbgon]

Go directly is inspired by Modula-3 and Oberon-2, both are descendants from Pascal family. One of the Go's fathers was Wirth's students IIRC.

[pjmlp → jan_m_savage]

Oberon-2 surely, there are zero Modula-3 influences in Go.

Also Wirth had nothing to do with Modula-3, that was all DEC / Olivetti SRC work, done by ex-Xerox people with experience on Cedar and Modula-2+.

[jan_m_savage → pjmlp]

"Go is mostly in the C family (basic syntax), with significant input from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family"

Without Pascal there would be no Modula.

[pjmlp → jan_m_savage]

Modula-3 where is it?

I do agree with Modula, which isn't the same as Modula-3.
