I think Lua is more related to the Oberon family than Go is. Lua's control constructs are reminiscent of Modula-2. What Lua has done with tables and modules is pretty elegant and I can see more of the highlights of the…
A fun paper, but it neglected to explain its means of modularization. I had to read the language implementation to discover the 'require' keyword used to import functions. Projects like Mercury (http://mercurylang.org/)…
The Oberon/Modula-2 family happens to be among my favorite languages. It's one of the easier languages to implement and Amazon happens to have cheap Modula-2 compiler books. Wirth's own Compiler Construction book is…
