History of the ETH Programming Languages
Oberon [1] is the latest member of the Pascal family of compact programming languages. From its ancestors Pascal and Modula-2, it inherits a concise, highly expressive, and self-explanatory syntax, strictly enforced data types, and a module concept. In addition, Oberon features polymorphism based on record type extension. Active Oberon [2] is an evolution of Oberon combining the “spirit of Oberon” with the newest component technology. We aim at using Active Oberon in lectures on both small-scale and large-scale programming. Active Oberon for .NET is a first implementation of the new language.
