Mesa is a language of between PASCAL and ADA in philosophy and sophistication, though much closer to ADA. Its main distinguishing characteristics are incredibly strong typing, complete cross-module type consistancy checking, excellent facilities for modularization and information-hiding within modules. The MESA environment features the most extensive configuration control and debugging facilities I have ever seen. I recommend "Mesa, Language Manual" and "Early Experience with MESA", both Xerox publications available from PARC. -------
