Is this purely a personal project, or is it supposed to be used by others? You have made so many languages in the Oberon family (great job keeping the traditions alive, by the way), it's hard to know whether they are just a personal experimentation or you are expecting others to use them too.
This is not actually a contradicion, and the audience will decide whether the language will be used more widely. It's not my first priority, but there's nothing against it either. What you call "tradition" applies to my experiments with the Oberon Systems and the backward compatibility with their source code (for practical reasons, otherwise I would not be able to compile them), but my interest is actually in the language adapted for today's meaning of simplicity, which I call Oberon+ (or Luon, or Micron), and which would definitely have the potential for further adaptation if you look at what kinds of new languages are popular at the moment.
