SmartEiffel 1.0 Released

Posted by michael on from the also-self-bugging dept.

Per Wigren writes "Today SmartEiffel, the GNU Eiffel-compiler finally reached 1.0! Eiffel is a very underrated language in the free software community for some strange reason.. Hopefully this will help to gain some interest in this extremely powerful, fast, easy-to-read, easy-to-learn, almost self-debugging language!"

    Yeah, I don't understand the popularity of screwdrivers... Why can't we all just get along and use hammers for getting screws installed, TVs fixed and kids disciplined! Why waste time and resources on developing and learning how to use multiple tools?
