An early 17th century broadside ballad, " The Mad Merry Pranks of Robin Goodfellow "— which is so deft and literate it has been taken for the work of Ben Jonson — describes Puck / Robin Goodfellow as the emissary of Oberon, the Faery King, inspiring night-terrors in old women but also carding their wool while they sleep, leading travellers astray, taking the shape of animals, blowing out the candles to kiss the girls in the darkness, twitching off their bedclothes, or making them fall out of bed on the cold floor, tattling secrets, and changing babes in cradles with elflings.

Oberon is a programming language created in 1986 by Professor Niklaus Wirth ( creator of the Pascal, Modula, and Modula-2 programming languages ) and his associates at ETH Zurich in Switzerland.

The name is from the moon of Uranus, Oberon.

Oberon is very much like Modula-2 in its syntax, but is considerably smaller.

The Oberon report is, at 16 pages, about a third of the size of the Modula-2 report, and one of the early full compilers was only about 4000 lines long.

The Oberon operating system is also available for several hardware platforms other than the original workstation.

Oberon is designed to be a ' safe ' language ; it employs array bounds checking, garbage collection and strong type checking.

There is a release called Native Oberon which includes an operating system, and can directly boot on PC class hardware.

Oberon-07, defined by Niklaus Wirth in 2007 and revised in 2011, is based on the original version of Oberon rather than Oberon-2.
