I like Modula-3 too (at least conceptually: I haven't found an
excuse to code in it), but not "widely-known" is perhaps even an
understatement.  I came across this site the other day:
http://www.tiobe.com/index.htm?tiobe_index
Which I thought pretty interesting.  I noticed that Modula-3
doesn't even make it into the top-100 popular languages, which
puts it below Algol, Oberon, and Modula-2.

Cheers,
