Maybe Project Oberon is widely known to others, but if not, I suggest the title be changed to something like "Project Oberon is a design for a complete desktop computer system from scratch".



I was aware of the Oberon programming language, which is the successor of Modula-2, which is itself the successor of Pascal (all invented by Niklaus Wirth), but it took me a few minutes to remember that there was also an OS and computer system called Oberon. However in a university setting it makes perfect sense to have a complete "package" of hardware, OS and programming language which you can design and understand "from the ground up".


Recently heard about Serenity OS wonder if it's similar or different ideals.
