Goals
The goals of this part of ISO/IEC 10514 are:
- to provide a rigorous definition of the language Modula-2 and its standard library by providing a mathematical model of both;
- to provide a resolution of differences among interpretations of other descriptions of Modula-2 and its standard library, while endeavouring to preserve investment in existing practice;
- to remove features thought to be redundant, inherently flawed, or inadequate;
- to specify new language and standard library facilities where a need is perceived to exist;
- to maintain the general principles of Modula-2 laid down by its inventor, while allowing for later modernization and standardization.
