[Oberon] Oberon language family and the master.

[Srinivas Nayak]

Dear All,

I am referring to http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/archives/languagearchive/genealogy.
Here we see that Oberon language from its birth has gone through several revisions.
Many times either NW or others have added new features to it if they feel a need of it.
Or removed existing features, if they found it unnecessary.
After all these iterations, Oberon might have got time tested.
So today, can we say, whatever is present in Oberon-7 is time tested;
and one doesn't need to add or remove anything from it;
and this is the state-of-the-art;
and is simple but not simpler?

If so, one wouldn't worry about
Oberon V,
Oberon X,
Active Oberon,
Action Oberon,
Object Oberon,
Concurrent Oberon
etc. etc.


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
