Subject: Re: A Repeat: New Language After Ruby?

Hi,

In my opinion, Eiffel is being in the middle, i.e., its performance is
below C but its syntax is not as short as Ruby.  Yes, there are some good
object-oriented designs in Eiffel (such as the indistinguishable data
access and function call, which is adopted by Ruby), but to me it is
better to have two extremes than to have one in the middle.  For example,
by combining Ruby and C, I can optimize the kernel in C (so that is is
really fast) and provide user interface in Ruby (so that it is simple to
use).  A specific example in network simulation is per-packet processing
should be done in C, but the basic routing algorithm can be written in
Ruby.

Regards,

Bill
