> I did that with Oberon+ which unifies Oberon, Oberon-07 and Oberon-2. Oh I see! But, AIUI, that's just a compiler on other OSes, right? It's the IDE and the OS that interests me. If I wanted to program on Linux or whatever, I'd probably use FreePascal or something. It's the OS and the integration that makes Oberon interesting for me. In a world of sprawling multi-gigabyte OSes implemented in half a dozen languages and held together with sticky tape: various scripting language. One tiny elegant OS, self-hosted in one tiny language, has charm for me.

> that's just a compiler on other OSes, right? It's possible to run an Oberon System with it (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem ); it runs on all platforms and the generated C code could even be made run as an OS on an embedded system if need be; I currently also experiment with System 3 and alternative backends; but this is more for curiosity; from my humble point of view the OS topic is solved with Linux (which can also be configured for very low resource systems).
