gutknecht

He & Jurg Gutknecht designed/built the system from processor & peripherals to the language and end user applications.

You probably had some classes with Gutknecht at some point, who apparently contributed significantly to Oberon.

Yes, Project Oberon[0] by Niklaus Wirth and Jürg Gutknecht is written in Oberon-07 which is a very small programming language with a garbage collector.

The first system Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht designed was Lilith [1].

Oberon was my first programming language, taught by Jürg Gutknecht himself.

That, in my not-so-humble opinion, is a truly great achievement and I am in awe of Niklaus Wirth and Jürg Gutknecht for it.

I did not quite share his confidence in my abilities in that area, but to my relief, Jürg Gutknecht agreed to sponsor the talk, and I got to spend lunch with Brad Cox, Niklaus Wirth, and Jürg Gutknecht.

As it later turned out, this had been a good estimate; programming was begun in early 1986, and a first version of the system was released in the fall of 1988." I think of Wirth and Gutknecht as demonstrating that one need not be as far out as Terry A.

Gutknecht (not Wirth) started to extend the Oberon language with direct support for concurrency and active objects (see e.g.

Project Oberon: The Design of an Operating System and Compiler, by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht.

Gutknecht who in the following years joined Wirth to build Project Oberon whose text management system is also based on a piece table.
