modula-2
     
         a high-level programming language designed by
        niklaus wirth at eth in 1978.  it is a derivative of
        pascal with well-defined interfaces between modules, and
        facilities for parallel computation.  modula-2 was developed
        as the system language for the lilith workstation.
     
        the central concept is the module which may be used to
        encapsulate a set of related subprograms and data structures,
        and restrict their visibility from other portions of the
        program.  each module has a definition part giving the
        interface, and an implementation part.
     
        the language provides limited single-processor concurrency
        monitors, coroutines and explicit transfer of control
        and hardware access absolute addresses and interrupts.
        it uses name equivalence.

modula-2
     
        an extension of modula-2 by m. philippsen
         of the university of karlsruhe.  it
        uses a superset of data parallelism, allowing both
        synchronous and asynchronous programs, both simd and mimd.
        parallelism may be nested to any depth.  there are version for
        maspar and a simulator for the sparc.
