Ok, in all Oberon systems that i have seen, the GC isn't a very
sophisticated one. But there are nowadays even real-time GC
Implemetations available. And look for example at the Elang Language and
its implementaion by Ericsson. They use it for writing telephony
software. So GC and functional languages have gone a long way. Surely
would it be possible to incorporate a real-time GC in OBeron.
