Interesting interview. I hope the new books will be out soon. His RISC 
processor will be only for education purposes with 1MB RAM...

Ther should be some compilers openly avaiable.

Personally I would like to see an Oberon like system on the Raspberry Pi. I 
will check for a compiler. However, if I do it, it would be a fun project 
likely with some incompatibilities to current Oberon ( files behave like in 
Linux, Text based on UTF-8 or html, typesafe Fonts) and simpler implementation 
(no static linking). The real thing would be to have graphics output to the 
web browser.
