I'm not sparring with you. You are wrong. Oberon is an operating system, and "Oberon is an operating system" is a fair and accurate statement. I don't expect you to relent on this—I'm too well acquainted. You're still wrong.

It is an OS. And it is also a programming language, which can run on other OSes as well as on its own native one. Here's a Windows version: https://blackboxframework.org/ https://blackboxframework.org/ Here's a Linux version too: https://blackbox.oberon.org/download https://blackbox.oberon.org/download Renamed, but "Component Pascal" is Oberon. Wirth's Oberon is a compiler, but Oberon can also be compiled with other compilers. Vishaps interpiles Oberon via C using GCC, Clang etc. https://vishap.oberon.am/ https://vishap.oberon.am/ So does OBNC: https://miasap.se/obnc/ https://miasap.se/obnc/ Astrobe is another alternative compiler: https://astrobe.com/ https://astrobe.com/ OberonC compiles it to the JVM: https://github.com/lboasso/oberonc https://github.com/lboasso/oberonc Here is a list of others: https://oberon07.com/compilers.xhtml https://oberon07.com/compilers.xhtml You are keen to rebut me, but you have not refuted me. Provide evidence for your case. Don't tell me I am wrong, because I've had decades of that and I don't care. Show me I am wrong and I will listen.
