True but what features? With Ada, you need generics to be able to do anything due to the strictness. Would this new Oberon/Ada/C inspired language need generics?
What other features would be required? I'd definitely go with ranged types at least, I like OO, I never got to grips with functional, but due to current hypetrains, people would want at least first class functions. What about pointers?
