Modula
Sign in to saveThe Modula programming language is a descendant of the Pascal language. It was developed in Switzerland, at ETH Zurich, in the mid-1970s by Niklaus Wirth, the same person who designed Pascal. The main innovation of Modula over Pascal is a module system, used for grouping sets of related declarations into program units; hence the name Modula. The language is defined in a report by Wirth called Modula. A language for modular multiprogramming published 1976.

Modula编程语言是Pascal语言的后代。它是由Pascal的设计者Niklaus Wirth在1970年代中期于瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院开发的。Modula在Pascal之上的创新是模块系统，用来将有关的声明组合成一个程序单元（unit），因此名为“Modula”。这个语言定义于Wirthy在1976年出版的叫做《Modula：用于模块化编程的语言》的报告中。 Modula由Wirth在PDP-11上首次实现。不久其他实现就跟从而来，最重要的是为约克大学Modula开发的编译器，和飛利浦实验室的叫做PL Modula的实现，它生成LSI-11微处理器的代码。 Modula的发展在它出版后不久就停止了。Wirth随后集中他的努力于Modula的后继者Modula-2。
