20 ;;Quote: the Mesa instruction set is designed for compactness; average instruction length is 1.45 bytes
21 ;;Quote: Mesa uses an operand stack for implicitly defined operands
21 ;;Quote: Mesa is designed for cooperating processes; no protection other than write-protected pages
28 ;;Quote: a process's evaluation stack is always empty when it blocks for a condition or a monitor

29 ;;Quote: on Mesa, code is about half the size of conventional architectures
