I would suggest looking at either Oberon or Modula-3. I am
personally more familiar with Oberon... and there are quite
a lot of implementations for various platforms out there.
Check out http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~laden/Ob-pkgs.html for
more info.

: Are there in such a system any class libraries available?

As far as I know, most of the Oberon implementations support their own 
'class libraries'... there is a thread on comp.lang.oberon concerning
the standardization of these.

: Is there a kind of 'Visual' Modula-2 programming environment?

Look at Oberon/F (on the previously mentioned Web page). There are
versions for MS-Windows and Mac environments (with more
environments to come...). I'm still pretty much a beginner with Oberon/F,
the module structure is fairly complex... but it seems to be very 
extensible.

: Any information about such a sytem or experience with it 
: are highly appreciated.
