Yeah, Eiffel may not be one of the most efficient or popular languages
in the world ... far from it ... and for the most part, I dreaded
learning it at University. I found it slow, unwieldy and close to useless.

However, In my opinion, it is the perfect language to teach the 
principles of Object-Oriented Programming. While C and C++ may dominate
in the workplace, we all had to start somewhere, and I think Eiffel 
would have been the ideal choice for me ... and for anyone deciding to 
take up OOP ;)
