Maybe mercy will be enveloping me (or someone else!) one day ;-) Although the EOS compiler is still just under 3000 source lines of code, I feel that rather too many things have already been added to it already. We don’t want a second Modula-2..

How about Oberon++? The name will help gain publicity. Also, there are no "we". There are two sides whose interests are not the same. I am saying this with great surprise. We have not found common ground to say "both sides have gained from the collaboration". I hope you can understand that I would like to use your product. But it is forcing me into a very hard work. The result will make some folks happy that there are no more dirty words in the code. Is this progress? Such a project is hard to justify. It is puzzling to me why we failed to identify and to agree on common gain for both sides. W.
