Object-Oriented Language: Eiffel

See also Eiffel / Libraries
Intro
- Eiffel is a pure, statically typed OO language.
- Eiffel has built-in support for Design By Contract.
- Why Eiffel?
- Eiffel is arguably the best commercial object-oriented language available today (Jim Rumbaugh).
- 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).
