Congratulations!

I've always been super interested in Oberon (due to my Pascal / Object Pascal / Delphi heritage) and even tried things like A2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_(operating_system)) but never fully got into the boat.

Micron makes me excited to try your latest incarnation.

Thanks. I also spent significant time with ActiveOberon (https://github.com/rochus-keller/activeoberon/) and AOS/Bluebottle (the 2004 version of A2, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/activeobjectsystem), but it turned out to be much more difficult to migrate to multiboot than the Oberon system. Micron is supposed to replace assembler even in lowest level when there is no stack with dedicated language levels and full type-checking support. Working system examples are here: https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/tree/micron-rv... and https://github.com/rochus-keller/micronsystem3/.
