Yeah, I thought about mentioning that, but it seemed ungrateful to complain of a lack of drivers when I've never written one (but I do still wish someone would take that on as a project).
Awesome. Thanks for posting. I miss my modula-2 so much I wrote a bunch of editor macros for Lazarus that allows me to write slightly modula-2 like code in the editor.
Also XDS has been freely available for a couple of years now.
What I miss is that there is no modern equivalent of formating keywords on save, I helped with one plugin for Sublime Text on Oberon, maybe need to do the same for VSCode.
I made Pascal for 8080 in about a week in 1979. How is it possible you may ask?
Well son, I had Lisp and I just added Pascal translator. Only caveat was that it ignored type declarations and such useless academic shit. Because I had sort-of compiler too, it was not really bad when compared to Turbo-Pascal.
I found 50 pages manual for the Noko-Pascal. Finnish Army paid for it, because nothing comparable was available. Writing the manual was 10 times bigger task.
The army used Nokopaskal for testing radio modems. Looks like the language was heavy with low level constructs like PORT.
Anyone with a spare Micro-SD Card and a Raspberry Pi 5 should try:

This is just an emulator which runs on Raspi Linux, not a native implementation. You can run it everywhere, even on Windows.

Super exciting! Thanks
I thought it would be Pascal for microcontrollers :) Still very nice!

Since GCC 14, that GNU Modula-2 is part of GCC.

I truly did not remember any of this until today.

Erh. What?
Here is my infamous 1976 Nokolisp-compiler at work:
https://github.com/timonoko/nokolisp
Interesting work.
Time to setup DOSBox + MASM + etc etc.... :D
noko.exe works at dosbox without any "etc etc".
nokolisp.exe is just a kernel without editors and macroes.
