Oberon – The Overlooked Jewel [pdf]

This article presents selected facets of Project Oberon, the latter of [Pascal creator Niklaus] Wirth’s two large system-level design efforts. The leitmotiv of this project was a quote from Einstein, “make it as simple as possible, but not simpler”. And if any further evidence was still needed, Oberon provided the conclusive proof for Wirth’s mastery of The Art of Simplicity.
