This statement is quite meaningless.
In terms of speed, you don't say which IDE, which version, what processor you
were running it on, what it's clock speed was, which assertions you had turned
on (presumably all), etc.
In terms of unwieldy and utility, no doubt you were disappointed that you
couldn't do all the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants stuff you can do in C/C++.

I think this pretty much sums it up. Maybe after 15 years or so of falling
into all the pitfalls of C/C++, it might dawn on you that there are good
reasons for the constraints in Eiffel. I won't hold my breath, though.
Don.
