> when they go for a job interview and the reaction to Oberon is 'What?'
Your students should be able to say that Oberon was actually a model for Java (and therefore for C# too),
that Sun studied Oberon already in 1991,
that Java took its final form after N.Wirth's student M.Frantz's talks at Sun in March 1994,
that another N.Wirth's student and co-founder of Oberon microsystems C.Szyperski is behind MS.NET,
that the School of Oberon is influencing the world of computing behind the scenes in a really big way,
so that even at CERN they've had a special Oberon Day ...
Cheers
