I still hope to see the world where Oberon is the future (and present) of OS and programming language design, and I know very little about it.

Thanks to your work, that's about to change.

Thank you times a thousand <3

I see you're into horror stories.

Oberon is absolutely a horrible language. It's an example of how you can screw up a good language by insisting on things that were important in 1960-s.

Like not allowing multiple returns (not multiple return _values_ but multiple returns).
