From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [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.
