Interesting point, thanks.
>> Oberon 90 can be seen more „grown up“ and more distinguishable from Modula-2 ... The language refinement went on with Oberon-07.
This correlates with the presentation of the versions on Prof. Wirth's homepage (https://inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/Oberon/):
"Oberon
Oberon at a Glance
Programming in Oberon (a Tutorial)
The Programming Language Oberon (1990)
The Programming Language Oberon-07 (Revised Oberon)
Difference between Oberon-07 and Oberon
..."
@ Till Oliver Knoll
>> shouldn‘t we not celebrate Oberon 90‘s birthday in 2020?
That was my original question; but celebrating in 2020 would not fit the pattern; the last official anniversary was the 25th in 2011, apparently assuming the year of birth to be 1986 (what is somewhat difficult to understand after the facts now available).
Best
