"non-optimizing Oberon compilers for the Motorola 68020, for the Sun SPARC and for the DEC MIPS architectures generated code that was as efficient as the code generated by the standard C compiler with the optimization option switched on (cc -O)"
Development continued on languages in this family. A further extension of Oberon-2, was originally named Oberon/L but later renamed to [[Component Pascal]], (CP). CP was developed for Windows and [[classic Mac OS]] by Oberon microsystems, a commercial company spin-off company from ETHZ, and for .NET by [[Queensland University of Technology]].

Later .NET development efforts at ETHZ focused on a new language named [[Zonnon]]. This includes the features of Oberon and restores some from Pascal (enumerated types, built-in IO) but has some syntactic differences. Other features include support for active objects, operator overloading, and exception handling.
