There are quite few people who use Modula-2 these days. But there may be more than you imagine. This subsection of the Free Modula-2 Pages shows some possible ways to get involved, ways to start communication, ways to get questions answered.

The discussion should be of interest not only to those with an interest in Wirthian programming languages, but also to those with an interest in type safe design in general."
