Well, both the Eiffel folks and the Ada folks (with a few exceptions)
posted to Usenet instead of e-mail. The Ada folks were a lot less
evasive than the Eiffel folks, but I'm only going to summarize
what was not posted.
Ada: concurrency, generics, validation, class mechanism not confused
with encapsulation mechanism, that a function can return a
structure of run-time-determined discriminants.
Eiffel: DBC (pre/post-conditions, invariants), multiple inheritance
Both: clean syntax, static type checking, avoiding errors instead
of slinging out code faster.
Why: To be posted next week.
Since I didn't learn much, anyone game for an alternate question?
Let X your favorite and Y the other (of Ada or Eiffel). What is
the one feature (if any) of Y that you wish was in X ?
