Can someone tell me why Eiffel is not successful ? It looks much better than C++.
So what happened ? Is AT&T responsible for this shame or did Eiffel come too late,
or what ?

And can someone tell me what is the big deal with this Java language ?
I heard several people saying:"It's going to wipe C++ off the scene in no time".
So is it only a language to allow Web browsers to execute code, or is it
really a better C++ (since apparently one of Sun's reason for creating
Java was their big problems with C++) ?

Now Oberon and Modula 3. Are there free compilers for Windows 3.1 , DOS or Unix
around ? And could someone briefly compare them to Eiffel ?

Thanx in advance.

Mikal
