I cannot recommend a bibliography, but ... this is a funny
combination (Oberon & PIC). With only a few KB RAM and ROM available,
you should consider to forbid recursive procedure calls. This would
allow for static memory allocation at compile time; simplifying "stack
frames" and speeding up execution as well. If I remember it
correctly, the early Occam compilers in the 1980s did this too.
