Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Project Oberon (New Edition 2013)
> gain a deep understanding of it .. generate smaller subsets of the system
You can use the OberonViewer for this purpose with the original source code, or the Oberon IDE with a version of the Project Oberon System which runs with SDL on all platforms, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/oberon/#binary-versions and https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/tree/FFI

The Oberon+ Programming Language
There is a version of the Oberon System compatible with the Oberon+ toolchain and IDE, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem

GCC 13 to support Modula-2: Follow-up to Pascal lives on in FOSS form
> that's just a compiler on other OSes, right?
It's possible to run an Oberon System with it (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem); it runs on all platforms and the generated C code could even made run as OS on an embedded system if need be; I currently also experiment with System 3 and alternative backends; but this is more for curiosity; from my humble point of view the OS topic is solved with Linux (which can also be configured for very low resource systems).

Show HN: New Oberon+ to C99 transpiler for near native performance
Thanks. It's not only Oberon, but Oberon+ as specified here: http://oberon-lang.ch. You can even mix the traditional and new syntax, as e.g. demonstrated here https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/tree/FFI.

New Oberon+ IDE based on the Mono CLR - lean and fast
Yes, Oberon+ is on the direct hereditary line to Oberon 90, Oberon-2 and Oberon-07. Here is more information about the language: http://oberon-lang.ch. There are also implementations of the Oberon System compatible with my compiler and IDE (the LuaJIT version so far): https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/.

Oberon OS Walkthrough
Interesting article, but I would rather go for http://www.projectoberon.com/.
Oberon is a really nice and very well documented programming language and operating system to experiment with. Unfortunately not that much distributions are still available (most links seem to be dead).
If you're interested in the OS or the language, here is a platform independent, stand-alone version running on LuaJIT: https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem
There is also an integrated IDE with syntax coloring, semantic navigation, and a source level debugger.
The compiler supports small-case keywords and underscores in identifiers. I'm currently working on an extended version of the language.

Oberon: The tiniest but richest FOSS HLL and OS you've never heard of
Because of pjmlp's hint I just looked into the repositories https://github.com/btreut/a2 and https://github.com/metacore/A2OS, but didn't find a coroutines module. I'm aware that Active Oberon (Patrik Reali, 2004) includes concurrency, but this is a different language than the one used for System 3.

Project Oberon
The Oberon channel has several videos of Oberon in action,
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=The+Oberon+Chan...
While Oberon was quite cool, people should also learn about its Xerox influence,
"Eric Bier Demonstrates Cedar"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_dt7NG38V4
Also dive into what happened afterwards, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Zonnon,...
Active Oberon could be considered quite modern, also makes the distinction between safe and unsafe pointers, which improves the experience for low level coding.
https://github.com/metacore/A2OS
One of the best things about these systems is proving what systems programming with automatic memory management were capable of.
Given Oberon-2's influence on Go, maybe improving Fyne (https://fyne.io/fynedesk/) with something like gRPC for the dynamic experience, could be a possible sucessor.

Leveraging the Go Type System
A couple, you can start here to see how the Active Oberon based OS looked like,
https://www.progtools.org/article.php?name=oberon§ion=co...
Some links are broken now, because ETHZ no longer hosts the A2 site, however you can get the latest language report at http://cas.inf.ethz.ch/boards/2/topics/1
And the source code and old documents for the original A2 OS at github, https://github.com/metacore/A2OS
