Re: Ada versus Eiffel

[Antonio Vargas <antonio.vargas@clix.pt>]

Right now I have found a starting point for the study:
    
        http://www.eiffel.com/doc/manuals/technology/contract/ariane/page.html
        about  the ariane 5 problem :-) from the Eiffel advocates
        and a contraposition at http://home.flash.net/~kennieg/ariane.html

I'm also trying some tipical Ada to Eiffel and Eiffel to Ada code.  I 
suspec that efficiency is a general advantage in Ada but I must test across 
several Eiffel compiler implementations.  It looks like that Eiffel has 
some advantages beeing used earlier in the analysis and specification of a 
project (design by contract etc). But I can't make a good evaluation until 
I get some proficiency in that particular language. I can't make the same
mistake of the Ada critics that, in general, dont have a deep understanding
of this wonderful language.
