I was looking into java and kotlin - but even the people talking about modular monoliths weren't happy with the current module support in java.

The language should support separate teams writing modules to be used by other teams. The modules themselves would publish their public methods but really allow a group to turn up the encapsulation and hiding to the max. Users of a module would be forced to not even know about private variables or methods. They'd just get a compiled artifact and documentation.

Exactly. I don't think this question can be properly answered until modularity is defined.

One could argue that any language that has the concept of functions and imports is modular, which probably means all of them.

How is Haskell declarative ?
