Announcing a mailing list for discussion of the Eiffel object-oriented language and environment. In case you haven't heard of Eiffel, it is a strongly-typed, Object-oriented general purpose programming language with emphasis on compile-time checking. It has generic types (often caled parameterized types), multiple inheritance, incrementally-garbage-collected automatic storage, and exception handling. Eiffel is a recent design, not an extension of any previous language. It is described in this book: Object-oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer Prentice Hall, 1988 International Series in Computer Science ISBN 0-13-629049-3 hardcover ISBN 0-13-629031-0 paperback (apparently won't be available in the US) To subscribe, please email the following form including any comments you wish.
