: According to prof Wirth, the language is named after the moon. Period. All in all this is a rather silly discussion, started by someone who dislikes anything else than his (or her) own language. [[User:Jan272|Jan272]] ([[User talk:Jan272|talk]]) 06:17, 4 August 2011 (UTC) Jan Verhoeven
 
== Unanswered questions ==
After reading the article through I find myself lacking a lot of elementary information on the language. I don't know what term Oberon uses for functions (proc? function? subroutine?). I don't know if it has record structures or something comparable. I don't know how its objects differ from those in C++, just that they differ. I don't know whether a language feature must be declared before use, as in Pascal. I don't know whether arrays of different sizes are considered different types, one of the most criticized features of Pascal, and which most other modern languages try to circumvent. I don't know if the language supports JAVA-style interfaces. I don't know what the entry point of the programming is -- a "main" routine as in C? Sample source code would help, but the only sample source code I've seen was on this Talk page, not in the main article. In short, this article needs a lot of work.
