Sure, Oberon-the-language has structs and constants, but Oberon-the-OS does not not use them consistently. Take a look at this code from memory allocator (from link in my GP comments):
ELSE GetBlock128(q); SYSTEM.PUT(q+64, 64); SYSTEM.PUT(q+68, -1); SYSTEM.PUT(q+72, list2);
what do you think will happen if someone proposes this code into libc or Linux kernel? What kind of feedback would this receive today?
