Even more better: Extend OMI by Oberon-2 support and add the network 
functions of Java.

OMI has the most important feature of Java, multi-platform support, 
too, but doesn't share the disadvantage of low performance. OMI 
modules get _compiled_ during loading, in contrast to Java modules, 
which get _interpreted_ by the Java virtual machine during run time.
