SmartEiffel 1.0 Released

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!"

    But the printing-part of the Eiffel example is just
    print("Hello World%N") or io.put_string("Hello World%N").. That is just as simple as C or any other language..

    The class HELLO; creation make; ... is as you said, class-creation "headers" and the like.. In an example such as "hello world", that stuff is 95% of the code, while in a large class it is at most 1% of the actual code, and it actually makes the code more readable in the long run...
