cpo is one of the best i have seen. Its a scene from the movie "core". It depicts the center of the earth thru the window of a research vessle that has been dispatched to the center of the earth. ILM or Lucas Arts should hire this guy for a movie or something, IMO
The great thing about the Eiffel Struggle contests is it allows those of us who would like to use Eiffel (in the RealWorld(tm)) a chance to write something substantial in Eiffel.
The only project that might get other peoples attention and attract newcomers to eiffel would be a large-scale development project. Maybe if the Mars rover system software was written in eiffel, more people might go, "Hmmmmm..." And take a peek at eiffel.
There's really no Eiffel projects that a single developer can write (in his or her spare time) that cannot already be done in C++ or Java. Eiffel's virtues are evident only when programming in the large.
At the moment, the best thing going for Eiffel has been the book "Object Oriented Software Construction" and its famous author. This book is very convincing to quaility minded developers, who immediately appreciate the beauty of the language, even if they will probably never get a change to use it at work.
