If Cedar is really going public domain, I want to know about it too! Cedar started out as Mesa, the implementation language of ViewPoint and the Star software (among other things). It is a derivative of Pascal but always quoted as being "industrial strength". When Mesa became Cedar, certain features were added. A data type called "ropes", a generic pointer type (ref. any), and a run time garbage collection system. The name Cedar is also used for the entire programming/ productivity environment built around Cedar. If you want more info about Cedar try looking through the past few years of ACM Transactions on Programming languages. Hope this is of some help!
