I’ve mentioned before in comp.lang.modula2, Oberon hasn’t a specific set of object-oriented techniques burnt into the language. Instead of this, Oberon provides you with all necessary features (namely type extension, type tests, procedure types and hidden record components) to adapt any interesting OO-technique. Surprisingly enough, the Oberon techniques in practise are much more powerful than common OO-models and OO-languages. As an example: C++ provides so many unnecessary features and so much more complex than Oberon but doesn’t provide type tests up to now.
