Oberon

   <language> A {strongly typed} {procedural} programming
   language and an operating environment evolved from {Modula-2}
   by {Nicklaus Wirth} in 1988.  Oberon adds type extension
   ({inheritance}), extensible record types, multidimensional
   open arrays, and {garbage collection}.  It eliminates {variant
   records}, {enumeration types}, {subranges}, lower array
   indices and {for loops}.

   A successor called Oberon-2 by H. Moessenboeck features a
   handful of extensions to Oberon including type-bound
   procedures ({methods}).

   Seneca is a variant of Oberon focussing on numerical
   programming under development by R. Griesemer in April 1993
   (to be renamed).
