 | | Oberon is a programming language created in the early '90s by Professor Niklaus Wirth (the father of Pascal and the Modula and Modula-2 programming languages) and his associates at ETHZ in Switzerland. |
 | | It is also, somewhat confusingly, the name of the Oberon operating system, written in Oberon, for the Ceres workstation (built around the National Semiconductor 32032 CPU) and for the Cameleon workstation. |
 | | Oberon, the language, has now been ported to many other operating systems, and is even available in a Java based version (ie, Oberon source code compiles to Java source or, alternatively, directly to Java bytecode). |
