CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10514-1-00 (R2014)

Section 1 : Scope 1.1 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.
