Oberon

Oberon is a general-purpose programming language developed by Niklaus Wirth, known for its extreme simplicity, safety, and efficient design as the successor to Modula-2.

Installation

Install the Vishap Oberon Compiler (voc), which translates Oberon-2 source code into C:

apt update
apt install -y git build-essential gcc
git clone https://github.com/vishaps/voc.git
cd voc
make full
sudo make install

Verification

Check the voc compiler version:

voc -version

Writing and Compiling Code

Create an Oberon source file named Hello.Mod:

MODULE Hello;
IMPORT Out;

BEGIN
  Out.String("Hello, World!");
  Out.Ln;
END Hello.

Compile and run the module:

voc -s Hello.Mod -m
./Hello
