As it says on the website: Oberon+ is fast statically typed, compiled, general-purpose, procedural, object-oriented, garbage collected programming language in the Pascal tradition, with support for generic programming.

Syntax wise it will be familiar to anyone who has used Pascal or Lua. Semantically it will feel familiar to anyone who has used Go. Its a lot of fun to use and leverages some of the nice aspects of Oberon matched with the performance of LuaJit, with some elegant extensions.

The IDE is easy to use and the code base is fun to work through. The examples give a great idea of the language and speed. Both code written in Oberon+ and the core IDE /compiler src code are very easy to read. There are lots of good ideas in here worth exploring further.

Rochus Keller the developer behind Oberon+ has a lot of interesting projects on his Github site which warrant further investigation but Oberon+ is especially worth exploring.
