  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  Mesa 
 
  Xerox  PARC,  1977.  System  and  application  programming  for 
  proprietary  hardware:  Alto,  Dolphin,  Dorado  and  Dandelion. 
  Pascal-like  syntax,  ALGOL68-like  semantics.  An  early  version 
  was  weakly  typed.  Mesa's  modules  with  separately  compilable 
  definition  and  implementation  parts  directly  led  to  Wirth's 
  design  for  Modula.  Threads,  coroutines  (fork/join), 
  exceptions,  and  monitors.  Type  checking  may  be  disabled. 
  Mesa  was  used  internally  by  Xerox  to  develop  ViewPoint,  the 
  Xerox  Star,  MDE,  and  the  controller  of  a  high-end  copier.  It 
  was  released  to  a  few  universitites  in  1985.  Succeeded  by 
  Cedar.
