[Oberon] Vishap Oberon Compiler for BSD/linux and other

[Lars]

Hi, has anyone used the vishap oberon compiler?

http://oberon.vishap.am/

Sources:
https://github.com/norayr/voc

"ⱱishap Oberon Compiler (voc) is a free (GPLv3) professional
oberon-2 compiler."

Sounds good, except for the fact that it is GPL and not BSD/MIT licensed.
But we can deal with that..


"Platforms:

voc produces x86_64, x86, ppc, armv{4-7} binaries and works on those
platforms. "

Sounds good.

"Operating Systems:

Currently GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and OpenBSD sources (with bootstrap
binaries) are published."

This is great because OpenBSD is a system I like and rarely do you see odd
Linux stuff get ported to OpenBSD. Freepascal took a long time, if at all,
to get ported to BSD. Some one was working on it but it was very late to
even get started on the porting process.

"Ports to Solaris, AIX will be made and published in case there is an
interest from community. voc should work on MS Windows/ReactOS via
Cygwin/gcc, however we did not test it on Windows compatible machine."

This is also interesting.

To clarify, is this oberon mailing list to discuss all oberon related
material, or just the Oberon operating system itself?

Thanks!
Also the Vishap compiler mentions "aliens" which is funny, considering the
alien wirth conspiracy theory discussed in another thread "is Wirth an
alien"..

Quote: "Vishaps are known in tales, fiction. This page refers to some
technologies as “computer science fiction”. Among them to Oberon. This
brings another meaning, Oberon is like aliens, ghosts. And Vishaps."
