I'm not going to switch to oberon ;-)) i think it doesn't have anything like buton3 acquisition, and piping to dot. And plumbing, of course. BTW, old Oberon is dead, and Bluebottle has much more widozish look'n'feel, which i don't like... Not to say, how could I live without C? However, some (maybe) provocative questions remain, namely : is OO paradigm overcome/superseeded/abandoned, or has more cons than = pros?
