Is anyone out there working on a Modula2 front end for gcc (Gnu cc)? As
much as I like gcc, I prefer a more strongly typed (fascist?) language
- especially one like Modula2 or Ada which has a strong distinction
between specification and implementation. I'd be happy with a Modula2
which omits coroutines (I can live with unix fork()). I'd volunteer to
do it myself, but it's not clear to me where to start (nor how much
work it'll be).  I'll gladly lend a hand to anyone already started or
contemplating starting...  Is anyone else out there interested?

Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
