Development of the operating system and compiler. Oberon project

“We wanted not only to give advice on how the system could be created, but also to show how it was created. In this regard, texts of programs play a key role in the book: only they contain final explanations. For this reason, the choice of convenient formalism was given special importance: we developed the language of Oberon not only as an effective implementation tool, but also as a means of publishing algorithms. Due to its structure, the language of Oberon is convenient for displaying the global modular structure of any software system. But the more important thing is that we hoped to present a deserving attention to a significant part of programming in general for the benefit of all those who seek to study on the experience of others. ” Niclaus virtual
