I am impressed by the Oberon Language, created by Niklaus Wirth,
the man who also created the Pascal language
then he invented Modula/2, and the last not least of his creations, Oberon was born
on one of his sabbaticals about two decades ago.
So, the Oberon language is a classic “Wirth Language”,
with strong similarities to its predecessor Modula-2,
which again is quite similar to Pascal.
what makes it "special" is the philosophy under the Hood, which aim for keeping things as simple as possible
I love this idea, because things can be implemented with a minimum of code,
theoretically making sources relatively small, and reliable.
and this lead to some interesting decisions, and I am feeling fine
I have just found that there's a company in Switzerland called "Oberon Microsystems AG"
their website unfortunately is in German only, and apparently they do software-development in Oberon.
Then there's the Oxford Oberon-2 compiler from the UK
so, Linux and Windows are completed: what about our gears ? is there an Oberon Compiler for Irix ?
Happy Oberoning
