The [[stack-based]] instruction set architecture reached competitive speeds particularly thanks to the high code density, and it also helped keep the Modula-2 compiler fast and simple. **[[Oberon]]** is an operating system centered around the -[[object-oriented]] Oberon programming language, with the guiding principles of clarity and simplicity. A major reason to its existence was proving that a full graphical and modern operating system with a software development environment is possible in a moderate size (a couple of hundred kilobytes). It has also been used as Wirth as an example of **lean software**.
