I'm sure many people in the :Eiffel ng feel the same way, and just aren't interested in Ada, .. This may come as a shock to you, Brian, but the number of cross-posted Eiffel-Ada threads in the last few years has increased interest in Ada among members of the Eiffel community. From your perspective, that can't be a bad thing, can it? Interest in Eiffel among members of the Ada community has also increased and we consider that a good thing. :) These discussions have allowed each side to appreciate what the other language has to contribute to software engineering and has dispelled at least some of the inevitable misconceptions that come with looking from the other side of the fence. I think Eiffel and Ada developers can learn a lot from each other and hope that polite cross-posted discussions continue. Anyone who doesn't want to contribute positively is welcome to keep quiet.
