Objective Modula-2

   <language> (Or "ObjM2") An extension to {Modula-2} for {Cocoa}
   and {GNUstep} software development.  Objective Modula-2
   follows the {Objective-C} {object model} and retains the
   bracketed {Smalltalk} {message passing} {syntax} used in
   Objective-C.  Classes written in ObjM2 can be used within ObjC
   and vice versa. ObjM2 also retains Modula-2's {data
   encapsulation} features, namely {nested modules} with explicit
   {import} and export lists.  Due to the strict {type checking}
   in Modula-2, ObjM2 can be considered a much safer programming
   language than is ObjC, yet losing none of the capabilities of
   ObjC.
