I found it slow, unwieldy and close to useless. 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++. :Glenn Williamson :Computer Science Cadet ( TAB of NSW ) ^^^^^ 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.
