Reading about it made me feel it was coming straight from the 80s, and i must say i didn’t find anything special in its feature set (but i didn’t spend a lot of time). Could anyone provide more info on what makes this language interesting ?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Active Oberon Language Report Update 2019</title><url>http://cas.inf.ethz.ch/news/2</url></story>

One of
the most interesting features of the language for me is the fact that it
doesn&amp;#x27;t have a BREAK statement.  Which means that one must use a form of
WHILE for linear searches.  Probably to force people to think in terms
of structured programming instead of the logic of “hidden GOTOs”.  Does
it ever bother you?  Did you ever had a thought like “Sheesh, this would
be so much better with a FOR and a BREAK.”?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Active Oberon Language Report Update 2019</title><url>http://cas.inf.ethz.ch/news/2</url></story>
