I’m dedicating all my free time to get the compiler working properly, including the garbage collector. I’m currently building a kind of compliancy test that runs on a chip to raise my level of confidence on the compiler. Everything I’ve done for now is to have Project Oberon Compiler and part of the Kernel module ported to the ESP32. My aim is to see how far a “bear metal” programming environment can be achieved on this chip.

I was amazed how fast I was able to come with a (sort of) working compiler after only three weeks of effort. But now, debugging and compliancy tests is a must to ensure everything is Ok and this takes a lot of time to built. Thanks to Niklaus Wirth and all people involved on the Project Oberon!
