The Modula Family refers to a group of programming languages designed for modular programming. It originated in the late 1970s and was developed by Niklaus Wirth, who aimed to create a language that supports structured programming and data abstraction. The most notable member of this family is Modula-2, which is known for its simplicity and efficiency in system programming. Another significant member is Modula-3, which introduced features like object-oriented programming and garbage collection. The Modula Family emphasizes code reusability and maintainability, making it suitable for large software projects. Overall, these languages have influenced the development of modern programming languages and concepts.
