I have to disagree here.

I've studied CS at the ETHZ, at the time they introduced Oberon for the
students' exercises and have taken a few courses given by Wirth on the
design of the system: Oberon was written to compile directly to native
code.

Or are you thinking of Franz's OMI (or SlimBianries)? But he stores
more or less the AST produced by the compiler. I don't think that
pass as a virtual machine, does it?

Happy programming,
