From what I was able to gather at OOPSLA '88, the current Eiffel
*implementations* are indeed flaky, but no more so than was any Ada
compiler developed prior to 1985.
I am extremely interested in finding out whether Eiffel compilers do a
better job compiling Eiffel generics, than Ada compilers do compiling
Ada generics. I remain disappointed in how poorly Ada generics are
implemented by some Ada compilers.
