From b890004ae8ff7e19e62ee71859f6ce929a30a411 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jdp Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 23:17:19 +0000 Subject: Split this port into two pieces, with most of the work now being done by the new "modula-3-lib" port. The split allows one to save a lot of disk space by installing only the shared libraries needed for executing programs. The full "modula-3" port is needed only if you want to compile programs as well. --- lang/modula-3/pkg-descr | 32 ++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) (limited to 'lang/modula-3/pkg-descr') diff --git a/lang/modula-3/pkg-descr b/lang/modula-3/pkg-descr index e4081fa85f4a..84b23d2e925d 100644 --- a/lang/modula-3/pkg-descr +++ b/lang/modula-3/pkg-descr @@ -1,35 +1,7 @@ This is a port of Modula-3 release 3.6, from DEC Systems Research Center. Modula-3 is a modern compiled programming language designed -for systems programming as well as large applications. Some notable -features include: - - * A clean type system with good support for object-oriented - programming. - * A powerful module system. - * Lightweight threads, fully integrated into the language and all of - the libraries. - * Generics. - * Exceptions. - * Automatic storage management by a multithreaded, incremental, - generational garbage collector. - * Guaranteed type safety, plus the ability to confine unsafe code - behind safe interfaces. - * Elegance and simplicity, even compared with less powerful - languages such as C++ and Ada. - * Ease of integration with existing C libraries. - * A huge collection of runtime libraries, providing: - - Text manipulation. - - Generic containers (lists, sequences, tables, etc.). - - Atoms and symbolic expressions. - - An extensible stream I/O system. - - Persistent objects. - - Operating system interfaces. - - Networking. - - Very nice object-oriented graphics facilities, and some - convenient tools for building GUIs. - * A convenient browser. - -A wealth of information about Modula-3 can be found at: +for systems programming as well as large applications.
