Zonnon is a general purpose programming language in the Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon family. Its conceptual model is based on objects, definitions, implementations and modules. Its computing model is concurrent, based on active objects which interact via syntax controlled dialogs.
The language is being developed at ETH Zürich Institute for Computer Systems by Prof. Jürg Gutknecht. Zonnon introduces the concept of 'active objects' which are used to...

Mesa
Mesa was an innovative programming language developed at Xerox PARC in the late 1970s . The language was named after the mesas of the American Southwest, referring to its design intent to be a "high-level" programming language. Mesa is an ALGOL-like language, designed around the concept of modular... -
Modula-3
In Computer science, Modula-3 is a programming language conceived as a successor to an upgraded version of Modula-2. While it has been influential in research circles (influencing the designs of languages such as Java, C#, and Python) it has not been adopted widely in industry. It was designed by... -
Modula-2+
The Modula-2+ programming language is a descendant of the Modula-2 programming language. It was developed at DEC Systems Research Center (SRC) in Palo Alto, California. Modula-2+ is Modula-2 with exceptions and threads. The group who developed the language was led by P. Rovner in 1984. Main... -
Limbo programming language
Limbo is a programming language for writing distributed systems and is the language used to write applications for the Inferno operating system. It was designed at Bell Labs by Sean Dorward, Phil Winterbottom, and Rob Pike. The Limbo compiler generates architecture-independent object code which is... -

Modula-2
Modula-2 is a computer programming language invented by Niklaus Wirth at ETH, around 1978, as a successor to his intermediate language Modula. Modula-2 was implemented in 1980 for the Lilith computer, which was commercialized in 1982 by startup company DISER (Data Image Sound Processor and Emitter...
