I think it’s fair enough in this case to say “modern” probably means “modern programming languages can compile to and run on it”
There’s some question in the comments here about how much of the ISA is actually implemented but it should theoretically be possible to write Rust code and run it on this thing, for example. There are many other toy CPU designs out there which are much more limited in terms of what can compile to run on them.
