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. I am not a subscriber to this newsgroup. Please reply to ARPA : pabbisetty.henr@xerox.com In case you cannot get through to my above e-mail address please mail to UUCP : {rutgers, cornell}!rochester!rit!{ultb, ma}!ppm9801 BITNET : ppm9801@ritvax Thanks in advance.
