Bug#129594: O: pm3 -- Polytechnique Montreal Modula-3
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of pm3, Mike Goldman <whig@debian.org>, is
apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this
bug from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new
version with your name in the Maintainer: field and a
* New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug)
in the changelog so this bug is closed.

Description: Polytechnique Montreal Modula-3
The Modula-3 distribution of Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal is based
on the DEC SRC Modula-3 programming environment.
.
Modula-3 is a systems programming language that descends from Mesa,
Modula-2, Cedar, and Modula-2+. It also resembles its cousins Object
Pascal, Oberon, and Euclid.
.
The goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it can be while
meeting the needs of modern systems programmers. Instead of exploring new
features, they studied the features of the Modula family of languages
that have proven themselves in practice and tried to simplify them into
a harmonious language. They found that most of the successful features
were aimed at one of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler,
more systematic type system.
.
Modula-3 retains one of Modula-2's most successful features, the
provision for explicit interfaces between modules. It adds objects and
classes, exception handling, garbage collection, lightweight processes
(or threads), and the isolation of unsafe features.
.
A large number of platform independent libraries are available for easily
constructing distributed, graphical, multi-threaded applications.
