Hey Paul,
I honeslty never heard of Project Oberon and I now read into the topic
a bit more to find out. What bugs me is the fact Oberon is an object
oriented programming language.
This concept has already been discussed a lot on this ML and even
though I can't speak for everyone, I prefer using procedural ones.
However, considering how little time I spent reading into the language,
I'm open for corrections.
Now, looking at the Oberon Operating System, there definitely are some
similarities.
However, and that's where I see the big problem, this system doesn't
comply with the set of common POSIX-standards and thus would require
huge changes or even complete rewrites of basic software we use every
day.
I don't say every free operating system should be unix-like (hell, I'm
open for new concepts!), but it sure makes it a hell lot easier to run
a big set of software on it with relatively little work.
What are your plans in this regard?
Cheers
FRIGN
