  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  Oberon 
 
    A  {strongly  typed}  {procedural}  programming 
  language  and  an  operating  environment  evolved  from  {Modula-2} 
  by  {Nicklaus  Wirth}  in  1988.  Oberon  adds  type  extension 
  ({inheritance}),  extensible  record  types,  multidimensional 
  open  arrays,  and  {garbage  collection}.  It  eliminates  {variant 
  records},  {enumeration  types},  {subranges},  lower  array 
  indices  and  {for  loops}. 
 
  A  successor  called  Oberon-2  by  H.  Moessenboeck  features  a 
  handful  of  extensions  to  Oberon  including  type-bound 
  procedures  ({method}s). 
 
  Seneca  is  a  variant  of  Oberon  focussing  on  numerical 
  programming  under  development  by  R.  Griesemer  in  April  1993 
  (to  be  renamed).
