Re: Is Smart Eiffel ready for large-scale application ?

Hi,

  Why are you considering SmartEiffel instead of Modula-3 then ? I'd be interested to 
know.

  Also: how about ISE Eiffel versus SmartEiffel ? Does it have the same negative points, 
Lothar ? I mean, it has incremental compilation, Threads, an IDE with Debugging support, 
etc. No ?
