  2. …are evolutions of Oberon without these orthodoxies (e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/oberon or https://github.com/rochus-keller/micron ) and a few additional features which make it a really powerful but still lean language.

  5. …which uses LuaJIT essentially as a kind of C interpreter, even with my own native stack and GC ( https://github.com/rochus-keller/Micron ). The reason why I switched from generating Lua source code to LuaJIT bytecode in 2019 was mostly the…
