Oberon "not commercially viable"? That's a remarkably foolish, short-sighted and ignorant thing to say. Oberon is what Pascal grew up into, and I think a million-odd Delphi programmers would have very strong words with you that the Pascal family isn't commercially viable. And you do know what Apple MacOS was originally written in, don't you? I wrote about Oberon myself recently:
Since FPC (Free Pascal Compiler) has been developed on Linux, maybe Pascal could have a resurgence. I used it to port a couple of my programs from (Ughhh!) Borland Turbo Pascal for Windows to Linux, and it was a surprisingly painless job. The only thing I notice is the error messages look exactly like Borland error messages on DOS. (Error 132 at 1B7F sort of thing.)
