Since programming language design is often based on an ideal vision of
progamming and programs, a pro-language bias is easily confused with a
pro-ideas viewpoint.
Even if I don't use Eiffel, I DID NOT detected a so strong pro-Eiffel
bias in the papers we're discussing. I'd rather like to think it's
pro-idea instead.
It's sad to realize that we can't discuss interesting design ideas if
they're too closely tied to specific language. In this case, the thread
goes crazy and we completly loose focus on the ideas that started the
whole thing. Maybe some day...
