This is to advise everyone of the impending arrival of a new
programming language for the NeXT.
Eiffel
is currently being ported to the NeXT by Interactive Software
Engineering, Santa Barbara, Ca. This is the company founded, in
part, by Bertrand Meyer who was instrumental in creating Eiffel
and who has written an excellent book on object-oriented programming.
The book is titled Object-oriented Software Construction and
is published by Prentice Hall (ISBN 0-13-629049-3).
There is currently an Eiffel newsgroup called
comp.lang.eiffel
which is monitored fairly regularly by Bertrand Meyer and his company,
ISE. Like all other enlightened commercial enterprises, ISE is
on the internet as
eiffel.com
Comp.lang.eiffel is a neat newsgroup, and it's great fun to note
the French phrases which pepper the postings (some of the principal
originators of Eiffel are, not surprisingly, originally French).
The NeXT family welcomes Eiffel, I'm sure.
Laissez les bon temps roulez!
