    It might be better to say that Eiffel is not successful in the
    same way that some people consider Smalltalk or C to be
    successful. This is different from saying that it is completely
    unsuccessful.

    However, one factor in its lack of popularity might be that its
    author has established a reputation for saying deviant things
    about C programmers.
