Mostly academic or legacy systems; active development is minimal.

Can Modula-2 handle low-level programming?

Yes, it supports pointers and system-level operations.

Does Modula-2 support modularity?

Yes, with a clear module interface and implementation separation.

Is Modula-2 object-oriented?

No, it is procedural and modular, not object-oriented.

Is Modula-2 cross-platform?
