Modula 2 seems to not have libraries for things we might need these days, such as file format support for reading zip and read/write of png, gif, etc. Also TCP/IP comms?
Naturally given the way it has been largely ignored in the last 30 years, the choice is limited, yet GCC developers considered it had a community big enough to integrate GNU Modula-2 as standard frontend on GCC 14.

GCC nowadays offers Modula-2, Ada and D in the box.
Then you have FreePascal, as FOSS ObjectPascal dialect.
On Apple's turf, Swift naturally, given its bindings for all Metal anything frameworks.
