Nim and Zig are both pretty interesting to me as up-and-coming languages so I do have them on a short list of things to try. This post took about a month of effort in my spare time to write so I don't think I will get to those anytime soon.
I had a look at the Oberon+ language definition and noted that one of the most annoying Oberon shortcomings (as compared to Modula-3) still remain:
...from the point of definition to the end of the scope...
Oberon+ should have a look at Active Oberon 2019, not for its "active" aspect, but for its syntactical and semantic improvements, like the correction of the above problem.
It's a great idea, I nominate myself unless anyone more qualified steps in. It should take about a month. I will do what the author did and evaluate the claims the language makes one by one.

Then I take the liberty of doing some promotion for Oberon+ here too.

Very well, be sure to ask in the IM channels when you need guidance and good luck.
I started here: https://github.com/svanderbleek/x-language-review/blob/main/...
What do you mean IM channels?
