	Eiffel (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eiffel is a purely object-oriented language but provides an open architecture for interfacing with "external" software in any other programming language.
		Although there is no direct connection between Eiffel and C, all of the current Eiffel compilers except one (Visual Eiffel) output C source code as an intermediate language, to submit to a C compiler, for optimizing and portability.
		Eiffel standard, revision 2 (2006); this is the ECMA standard, with free access, its text identical to that of the ISO standard.

	Introduction to Eiffel
		With roots in Simula, beholden to no backwards compatibility issues, the Eiffel programming language was designed from scratch by Bertrand Meyer and his colleagues for the purpose of enabling the construction of robust, general, reusable software components.
		Eiffel is available or announced from a number of vendors on a roster of operating systems or platforms including Windows 3.1, VMS, SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, OSF/1, DG Aviion, IBM RS/6000, Silicon Graphics, Macintosh, OS-2, and NEXTSTEP, as well as Linux.
		Such a package, written in a programming language is a class, but an instance of a class in execution (or in storage) is an object.

	Programming Languages Directory \| Eiffel Programming Language
		The Eiffel programming language was created by Bertrand Meyer and developed by his company, Interactive Software Engineering (ISE) of Goleta, CA in 1985.
		Eiffel has evolved continually since its conception on September 14, 1985 and its first introduction in 1986.
		The Eiffel Tower was completed on time and within budget, which should happen if you use Eiffel for your software projects.

	Eiffel programming language (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-3.cs.princeton.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage collection).
		Eiffel intentionally limits stylistic expression, providing few means for clever coding tricks or coding techniques intended as optimization hints to the compiler.
		Eiffel tends to be quite closely connected to C; three of the four Eiffel compilers produce C code rather than object code.

	The Eiffel for.NET Language (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-3.cs.princeton.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Eiffel is considered both a development methodology and a programming language.
		Eiffel the methodology is a recipe for constructing quality software which is based on a small number of powerful concepts.
		Eiffel the programming language is a notation which is designed to support the methodology.

	Eiffel in a nutshell
		With Eiffel you can quickly produce a basic version of a system, reliable and efficient, put it into users' hands early (while the competition is still trying to produce a "prototype"), and come up with new releases rapidly, all the time maintaining the standards of robustness that are the hallmark of the approach.
		Eiffel was designed from day one to be the vehicle for the new software industry, based on the reuse of high-quality components -- rather than on everyone reinventing the wheel all the time.
		Eiffel recognition was given a large boost by the appearance in 1988 of the book Object-Oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer, which quickly became the best-selling title in the field and was translated into eight foreign languages; the book used Eiffel as the natural vehicle to introduce concepts of object technology and Design by Contract.

	Tech Success: Xontech uses Eiffel for defense
		He appreciated how Eiffel doesn't use pointers, a technique of referring to memory addresses that can be time-consuming to manage in large program development.
		Eiffel was originally developed by Bertrand Meyer for a 1987 textbook on object-oriented programming.
		Eiffel's products are used by Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp. Government clients include the Environmental Protection Agency and Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare, which has a record-keeping system based on Eiffel.

	Diamond problem - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Class A is at the top, both B and C separately beneath it, and D joins the two together at the bottom to form a diamond shape.
		In some languages, it is not possible to inherit from the same class twice.
		If virtual and nonvirtual inheritance are mixed, there is a single virtual A and a nonvirtual A for each nonvirtual inheritance path to A. Eiffel handles this situation by a select and rename directives, where the ancestors' methods to use in a descentant are explicitly specified.

	Eiffel History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		They were especially interested in a programming language that combined reliability and the ability to construct complex architectures.
		And because they found that none of the existing programming languages satisfied their expectations, they decided to develop a completely new one: Eiffel.
		The name of the language reveals their goal: like the symbol of Paris, the new language should ensure a maximum of complexity, transparency and stability.

	Dr. Dobb's \| The Eiffel Programming Language \| July 22, 2001
		Eiffel has standard mechanisms for interfacing with C, including calling C from Eiffel, and Eiffel from C. Some implementations include extensions that allow the use of C macros or inline C within designated Eiffel routines.
		Eiffel eliminates the possibility of entire categories of errors--memory management errors, unintended side effects caused by poor encapsulation, bad links from erroneous makefiles, improper routine dispatching due to type errors or confusion, and the like.
		Eiffel encourages you to use languages and tools appropriately; that is, to use an OO language for implementing OO designs.

		Eiffel is a pure, statically typed OO language.
		We settled on Eiffel because it provides the right paradigms to address the construction of large, high-quality object oriented software systems and is quite easy to master (authors of Design Patterns and Contracts).
		Eiffel is more than a language; it is a framework for thinking about, designing and implementing object-oriented software (Richard Wiener).

	Review of existing Languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Such language is often called "Embeddable", because you can embed it into most any application, a low-level interface being the current standard.
		It should be possible for implementations to point to the language dialect used, to language dialects to point to main language family, to language families to point to groups of languages, etc, with implicitly inherited or explicitly modified properties.
		being efficient as an interpreted language, it may serve as a shell language as well as a programming language; being powerful, and easy to specialize via standard libraries, it also replaces small utility languages (sed, awk, perl, etc); finally, being high-level and knowing of relations between objects, it is easily adaptated to an AI language.

	Nice (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It features a powerful type system which can help eliminate many common bugs, such as null pointer dereferences and invalid casts, by detecting potential runtime errors at compile-time; the goal of the designers was to provide safety features comparable to those found in languages such as ML and Haskell, but using a more conventional syntax.
		Nice aims to be feature-rich, and as such, in addition to the common features of modern object-oriented programming languages, it implements contracts in the style of Eiffel, class extensibility through multimethods, and many concepts drawn from functional programming such as anonymous functions, tuples, and parametric polymorphism.
		Source programs are compiled to Java bytecode, and can therefore interact with libraries written in Java and other programming languages targeting the Java Virtual Machine.
