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.
