A friend of mine works in the embedded area and he is using Modula-2.
(www.pmsgmbh.de) I often tried to get him to Ada, but there are far less
Ada-tools than Modula-tools, and the prices for Ada are far beyond of
what he could spend.

Do you want say, Modula has _no_ strong typing? Or do I missunderstand
you?
