It is the living proof that it is possible to use a safe systems programming language for operating system development.
The Native Oberon system was quite nice to use in how the UI concepts would map to Oberon modules, as such it was quite extensible.
Sadly, it never got picked up by the industry.
The way methods are associated with types in Go has been influenced by Oberon language family (see Component Pascal).
