Component Pascal

Component Pascal is a programming language in the tradition of the Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon languages of Niklaus Wirth. It keeps the name and heritage of Pascal but is incompatible with it: it is a minor variant and refinement of Oberon-2 with a more expressive type system and built-in string support. It was originally named Oberon/L and was designed and supported by Oberon microsystems, a small spin-off company of ETH Zurich, which also built the integrated development environment first called Oberon/F and later renamed the BlackBox Component Builder, released in 1994. An open-source version appeared in 2004 and a final 1.6 release in 2013, after which a small volunteer community took over development. Gardens Point Component Pascal implements it for the .NET and Java virtual machines.
