[comp.lang.c] Comparison of C++, Eiffel and Objective-C

ppm9801@ultb.UUCP (P.P. Mansey) (09/18/89)

This is the first time I am posting to this news group. If what I am
looking for has already been discussed in the past, I'd appreciate any
pointers to where to get hold of that information (news archives, etc.).

I am working on compiling information comparing features of C++, Objective-C,
and Eiffel.  In particular I need information about
  
   -  design philosophies of these languages
   -  learning effort required for C/Pascal programmers
   -  how strongly typed the languages are
   -  to what extent does each language support the OOP paradigm
   -  how mature the language is in terms of support - compiler, debugger, and
      other software development tools
   -  how the languages compare in terms of features 
   -  whether the language is compiled, preprocessed or interpreted
   -  extent of commercial applications developed in each language
   -  ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS MISSING IN THE ABOVE LIST

If anybody has done something similar to this in the past, I would appreciate
it if they could mail me their findings.  As soon as I gather enough 
information, I will post a summary to the net.
