Component Pascal

Component Pascal is a programming language in the tradition of Oberon and Oberon-2, the last language Niklaus Wirth designed before he retired in 1999. It is a minor refinement of Oberon-2, designed and supported by a small ETHZ spin-off company called Oberon microsystems. Their IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is called "BlackBox Component Framework". It presents a novel approach to graphical user interface (GUI) construction based on editable forms, where fields and command buttons are linked to exported variables and executable procedures.

There is also an Open Source implementation of Component Pascal for the .NET and JVM platforms from the Gardens Point team around John Gough in Queensland, Australia.

On 23th of June 2004 Oberon Microsystems announced that the BlackBox Component Framework is available as free download and that an open source version is planned for the last quarter of 2004.
