- Monitors provide the only mechanism for interprocess communication in a Concurrent Pascal program.
- Greg Andrews observed that Concurrent Pascal and monitors greatly influenced most subsequent concurrent language proposals .
- Monitors ( and Concurrent Pascal ) were soon used to structure process synchronization in the Solo operating system.
- A separate language, Sequential Pascal, is used as the language for applications programs run by the operating systems written in Concurrent Pascal.
