I recommend BlackBox Component Builder and the Component Pascal which should have been named Oberon-3, but stepped back to Pascal for marketing. Which failed. But the language and environment are superior. And free. Check them out. This website is providing amazing scientific software. Includes graphics, math, algebra, simulations, etc. Some of that stuff (Chill by Robert Campbell) was developed at BAE Systems for flying jet planes. It should tell you something. http://www.zinnamturm.eu/downloads.htm http://www.zinnamturm.eu/downloads.htm

The latest revision of Oberon has several implementations. Also, OBNC can be used on Windows, macOS, Linux and other POSIX compliant operating systems. Component Pascal has a single implementation which is Windows only. Oberon was created by a master of programming language design; the feature set is minimal but complete. Component Pascal adds a number of features which Niklaus Wirth intentionally left out in Oberon.

  Blackbox is already for Linux. Also there is a Linux 64-bit version of a limited console compiler.

I think the quote below applies to both Oberon and Component Pascal. "Programming languages are like cats. It is easier to get a new cat than to get an old cat fixed. Most successful languages are ultimately replaced by upstarts. Remodeled languages rarely match the glory of the original. Fortran was once the king of languages. It has been revised several times over the years, but the modernized dialects experienced a fraction of the prestige of Fortran IV. Similarly, Pascal was a popular structured programming language, but none of the object oriented dialects ever approached Pascal's glory. Instead, languages tend to be superseded." https://crockford.com/javascript/popular.html https://crockford.com/javascript/popular.html
