He brought me much joy in tinkering, first with Pascal, then with Oberon.
In looking up and then reading that article, I discovered that not only has Oberon been actively maintained, but that there is a successor, A2. Now that I'm back to being a hobbyist, I look forward to more joyful tinkering courtesy of his great mind.
Edit: in the course of further investigation, I found many dead links. But I also found this A2 repository that shows activity from as recently as 2 months ago.
Without his help, computer science would be wirth-less.
I didn't know he was alive. But he was a legend enough to be known. It's sad when the world loses a mentor like him. RIP!
