}I got a copy of the Modula-3 report this week. I find the language very

I also am very impressed with Modula-3, and discouraged by the lack of an
implementation.  Might there be enough Modula-3 fans on the net to make
feasible a Gnu-like cooperative development effort?  We could beg the
question of target machines by developing a Modula-3-to-C translator,
like the AT&T C++ translator, cfront.  I would certainly be willing
to donate a few of my (increasingly scarce) hours to such a project.
