Oberon-07 is a revision of the Oberon language by Niklaus Wirth. Oberon-07 is based on Wirth's original Oberon language (not Oberon-2), Wirth lists the changes here, which are largely aimed at simplification - in his defining document, Wirth quotes Einstein: "Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler".
Oberon-07 contains a WHILE loop that allows multiple conditions and statements - similar to the loop in Edsgar Dijkstra's Guarded Command Language, though with different syntax and without non-determinism. See Loops/N_plus_one_half#Oberon-07 for an example.
In addition to the samples below, many of the Oberon-2 samples should work with Oberon-07, particularly if the Oberon-07 compiler you are using allows LONGINT as a synonym for INTEGER (LONGINT, SHORTINT, LONGREAL and SHORTREAL were dropped from Oberon-07).
