WebL is an Oberon derivative that was specially designed to process web documents. People usually associate it with Modula-3 since some of the same people worked on both systems at the Digital/Compaq research labs and WebL was sometimes shipped with the M3 system. But the ideas behind and the basis for WebL came from the Oberon group at ETH although the actual implementation is in Java. HP later renamed WebL as the not very search engine friendly "Web Language" or "HP Web Language". WebL was mostly notable because in its day (around the turn of the century) it managed to outperform similar commercial toolkits and was much more compact as well.
