If I had my choice of my favorite two to use, it would be Ada and Eiffel. There are different situations in which I would prefer one over the other, but I'd be happy with either in most situations. And yes, I think Bertrand Meyer has acknowledged the influence of Ada on his language design. Would have been interesting to see how the current Ada standard measures up in Ian Joyner's "Objects Unencapsulated", don't you think? - Ed
