Thanks, Doug. It should have been my job, in theory.

"Excessive complexity is vulnerability" (the Kalashnikov Principle).
This is a fundamental law of Evolution.

The art of minimalism (= Wirth's "simplicity" or Guknecht's "purity") is not easy to master.
Ivan is not quite there yet.
The same is true about a vast number of "not everyones".

The OberonCore team, on the other hand, has been demonstrating competence amd reserve, and I have been relying on their bugfixing work for years.
And I think I can assume responsibility for fixing grammar in their English desctiprions of their bug fixes in future.
At least the bug fixing part should not be a concern from international perspective.
Details will be sorted out in the due course.

In my view, the Ominc announcement is mostly just words,
not much has changed in essence.

There is a number of big entities that could step in and leverage BB/Oberon to their advantage,
but they are not aware of the fact.
It is important to keep knocking on those various doors.

As an observer of Nature, I am looking forward to seeing how things develop :)

cheers
fyodor
