Hello Pierre-Nicolas, Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 6:47:32 PM, you wrote: >> >> Yep, face it truth, Eiffel is almost dead. >> PNCeunf> If this is really what you think, why keep PNCeunf> bothering us on this mailing-list ? Because i said "almost". I see a small chance to keep it alive, but this chance is vanishing every year a little bit more. It's because some people think that the answer is to get more sophisticated type checking ideas into the compiler, simply ignoring the fact that it's not a technically poison that slowly killed the language in the past 10 years. Its a social problem and it is in some ways absurd that people don't realize this or even don't know enough about it so that suggestions to join just another commitee come up. This just opens old wounds and bad memories about NICE. This ignorance and my personal assets that depend a little bit on Eiffel make me so aggressive. But finally to make you happy :-) In two weeks i'm back on a 56K dial-up connection. So i will write much less emails. -- Best regards, Lothar mailto:[email protected]
