Modlua 2 was standardized in 1996 over the objections of the USA, Japan,
and the Netherlands. The document includes a number of extensions to
Wirth's original language, clarifies a number of ambiguities, and
provides a detailed semantic description using the Vienna definition
model. The base language (subsequent publications have added object
orientation and generics) is 707 pages long. There was a strong feeling
by many observers that the extensions and the reliance on VDM got out of
hand, given that Wirth's original definition was, I believe, well under
50 pages.
Further information can be found in comp.lang.modula2
For what its worth Modula 1 predates Ada though not widely used.
