Thank you very much. I love Oberon for its simplicity and structuredness, and I find it best-suited for all programming tasks. I even use it in web-programming.

Thank you very much. I love Oberon for its simplicity and structuredness, and I find it best-suited for all programming tasks. I even use it in web-programming. So when I found out about Oberon, I noticed that there is nothing that I can easily install to start programming in it. I tried XDS, OO2C, VOC, BlackBox, and everything was not that I wanted. It was nothing as simple as, for example, Free Pascal, where you just download and use it. So I made Free Oberon. I switched several times from SDL 2 to Allegro 5 and 4 and back (with a lot of recoding on each step), also switched compilers from VOC to BlackBox and finally Ofront+. I'm planning to substitute it with my own Oberon compiler at some point, so I read everything about compiler construction and do Oberon experiments a lot. Could you please describe the issue with the full-screen a bit more? You can create an "issue" in the FreeOberon Github repo. I think it would be possible to fix it. Are you using two monitors?

I learned about Oberon by experimenting with the Acme editor (which borrows heavily from Oberon) and from learning about its influences on the Go language. The language doesn't "look modern", but it does seem very simple, and it seems really fun to learn. And I very much enjoy the retro feel of it. A bonus for me personally is that I happen to be learning Russian, and there's a fair bit of documentation and videos that I can use for immersion learning, which is a lot of fun. I will be sure to help with the full-screen issue soon.
