Dear colleges!
DO anybody can list all enterprises whic use Oberon(2)/ComPascal in

Obviously nowhere except academies.

Or maybe the language is so good that users do not have to use the
newsgroups to solve the troubles as is the case with the C++ and C# ...

That is partly true. Also, those who can see the benefits of using languages
like Oberon are more likely to be self-sufficient. We are currently
evaluating the development of .NET desktop apps using a combination of
VS.NET and C# for the GUI / visual forms development and QUT's Component
Pascal for the 'behind-the-scenes' code.

It's a lot easier to track down bugs when you are confident that they are in
your code and not in the development tools you are using.

My previous post was a little bit provocative to get somebodey else into
this thread. Obviously it did not help much. So I am afraid that both of
my claims were true ...

Still, it would be very convenient to get some information where, if at
all, is Oberon used. Or some informational resources from where this
could be learned. There was similar question some months ago in the
modula2.comp.lang and clearly M2 is still used, in minor extent, but in
very critical parts of the processes, may them be industrial or business.

Well, I'm really using Oberon-2 since 95 in a sort of "academic"
programming.
Except that with the same translator to C I also program ADSP-21160 to
earn for living.

Really sorry for top-posting (just got used to that form within someother
frame).
