Yeah. I have been coding in C a lot recently, mostly because Unix is married to C. Even with lint, ctags, make, lex, yacc, sccs, the man([23]) pages and all the other goodies C/Unix provides, I still prefer Modula-2. Modula-2 provides a simple, clean, *useful* module interface through definition modules and import/export. My personal experience is that it is easier to integrate a new team member into a project in M2 than in C, though ada is also pretty good in team integration. C is just too damn "hacky." I've seen too much code like **p->*n->t If I want amazing efficiency I'll code in FORTH or assembler.
