Comment on Project Oberon - The Design of an Operating System, a Compiler, and a Computer

Comments

Many parts with Oberon system would have been perfect for passing code around in the the Internet. The one pass compiler, for example, was lightening fast and compact.

I think Oberon system is worth of study.

Yes: Michael Franz, one of Wirth's PhD students, now a professor at UC Irvine, implemented such a system back in the 90's: http://www.jucs.org/jucs_4_5/open_standards_beyond_java/Fran...

Specially to learn that safe systems programming is possible, instead of spreading the school of C.
