Abstract One of the first tasks of the working groups producing a Modula‐2 standard has been to identify problems with the language defined by N. Wirth. This paper reports on the major problems with the language. These occur in the areas of type coercions and casts, scope, strings, the module SYSTEM , dynamic storage management and opaque types. Some familiarity with the language Modula‐2 is assumed.
