Subject: Critique of Ariane 5 paper (finally!)

Message-ID: <33E503B3.3278@flash.net> (raw)


I've put what I hope is my final version of my critique of the Eiffel
Ariane 5 paper at:

  http://www.flash.net/~kennieg/ariane.html

I hope that this gets referenced from the Eiffel web site, to provide
some balance to the original article. Thanks to everyone who helped out.

Readers may also be interested in the Meyer article on Java at

  http://www.cm.cf.ac.uk/CLE//volume97/18338

The discussion is interesting in that Meyer (a) criticizes Java for not
being used on large projects (whatever happened to unfair criticism of
new languages? :), (b) uses the Ariane 5 paper as justification for the
need for assertions, and (c) notes that Eiffel supports C++ interfaces,
with Java VM support coming soon (why wait when Intermetrics already
supports Ada applets running on the JVM? :)
