The same applies on the language level. I personally prefer Modula-2, but I'd be rather concerned if Modula-2 was the only surviving member of the Algol line. I think diversity is important on that level, too.
If one member of the extended family gets into trouble, that should be concern for all members of the extended family. The fewer of us remain standing, the more likely we'll end up in a world where the Algol line becomes extinct.
Would it be possible to look at GNU Pascal and Objective Modula-2 as several dialects of the same language ? And if so, why not merge both projects ?
