Development has continued on languages in this family. A further extension of Oberon-2, originally named Oberon/L but later renamed to [[Component Pascal]], was developed for Windows and [[classic Mac OS]] by Oberon microsystems, a commercial company spin-off from ETHZ, and for .NET by [[Queensland University of Technology]].

Recent .NET development efforts at ETHZ have been 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. Zonnon is available as a [[Plug-in (computing)|plug-in]] language for the [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] for .NET development environment.
