Hi Eric,

I will, if that can help your tools and compiler to be more popular. In fact, I really like your work. But, to be frank, the fact that gec do not have a garbage collector is a real turn off for me. That is why I have turned to Liberty Eiffel. But both are great tools.

Good day,

Louis M

Hi,

I must admit that the timing is quite good. I have worked a lot with EiffelStudio and have developed a lot of things for it (a lot of libraries actually). But Eiffel Software seems to want to close the door to the openness of EiffelStudio. We have to work with a 2-year-old version (19.05) so that EiffelStudio want to launch without the necessity of having an online account. So, I am a little bit mad about that. But I love the Eiffel programming language. So if you need my help with Liberty Eiffel, I would be glad to help. I am a pretty good programmer, that beleive in open source software, and that has experience in language development. So count me in.

Despite its quality, the Eiffel Liberty compiler does
not implement the same Eiffel dialect as EiffelStudio.
So you might need a lot of rewrite before being able
to compile your libraries with this compiler.

Note that the Gobo Eiffel compiler supports the same
Eiffel dialect as EiffelStudio. So it might be worth
giving it a try to compile your libraries.
