From: "Fitzgerald,Greg" Date: 2004-08-11T00:50:52+09:00 Subject: Eiffel ------_=_NextPart_001_01C47EF1.CE1F4ACA Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable What do you guys think of the Eiffel language? I use Ruby for all my personal projects, but when it comes to building huge (multi-million line) systems, I look to the safety of statically-typed languages. I've grown very tired of the deficiencies in C++ and am now hunting out a better language to build highly-reliable code. I suppose Java would be okay but everything about that platform seems boring and bloated. Eiffel looks very impressive and seems to have many of the same language abilities as Ruby. Not to mention, Design by Contract looks pretty useful. Has anyone used Eiffel? Success stories? Crash & Burn stories? It doesn't look like the language has changed much in the last 6 years. Is that because the language is about dead or because it is that stable? -Greg CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message and any included attachments are from Cerner Corporation and are intended only for the addressee.
