I worked all night on learning Eiffel. I am making excellent progress. So far I have learned how to do some simple file processing. I’ve also learned a bit of the language syntax. Ordinarily I would have quickly given up on learning Eiffel because it is horribly unfamiliar and tediously difficult to figure out how to do even the most basic tasks. But that is exactly what I want! I don’t want to invest my time in picking up expertise that just anyone can acquire. I want something that will leave other programmers scratching their heads, completely mystified.
Technically Eiffel is a sophisticated Object Oriented Programming language that a computer scientist would love. It is considered to be highly advanced and well informed professionals would be quite impressed by one’s knowledge of Eiffel, assuming they’ve ever heard of it.
