Just to stay within what Extended Pascal and Modula-2 allowed for.

The original Oberon and Oberon-07 lacked any support for subranges, enumerated indexes for arrays, co-routines, monitors and exceptions.

Oberon-07 goes even further cutting features from Oberon.

For me the best language from the Oberon family is Active Oberon.

Oberon-07 is a nice exercise in minimalism, but not something I would enjoy using in production.



As the famous quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry goes: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
