The amount of users doesn't change the fact of the tooling quality, but no wonder, UNIX folks tend to only take free beer, so what do they know about fine wine.

I've read the Eiffel books, and tried to use the Eifell tools, on Windows - a horrid experience. I am not a "UNIX folk" and I can't imagine what comparing UNIX and Eifell has to do with anything. It is basically an unuseable programming language and toolset, promoted by an egomaniac with a grudge against C++.

If you disagree, please provide a link to something medium sized and useful written in Eifel.

Useful to whom?

To you or the companies that keep Eiffel Software in business for 30 years?

I can provide them, but you apparently will ignore them anyway, because it is clear a company can exist for 30 years without money.

Here is one, just to keep you happy.

Yes, the article is from 2003, then again you haven't asked for dates, but to make it easier on you, you can ask them how they feel about Eiffel in 2022.
