-
- I have "Personal Eiffel for Windows". I am not too impressed with the
- maturity of the product.
- * It is a memory hog. You need atleast 16M to run it on windows.
- * The application that I have developed runs slow (personal version does
- not have optimizer).
- * I wouldn't use it for embedded systems yet!
-
- The professional version might be better, but its more money.
-
- I like the language: especially the pre/post conditions that can help in
- reducing SW errors. These enable "programming by contract" method.
-
- I like to hear other opinions.
