Modula was implemented 1980 in the Lilith computer, commercialized 1982 by startup company DISER (Data-Image-Sound-Processor-and Emitter-Receiver-System) as MC1 and MC2. DISER sold 120 units worldwide, The Modula-2 language is loosely based upon the Mesa programming language, from Xerox, that Wirth saw during his 1976 sabbatical year at Xerox PARC.
