Subject: Re: Eiffel

Have you tried Ada 95?

They are even creating ada2005 which is comming out
soon. I use it in certain projects. I was orginally
developed for US Department of Defense. Its a very
secure language. Ada improves reliability cuts down on
maintaince costs. It has great runtime checking. You
can compile programs. There are ada jobs out there :).
