I think it's a very carefully designed language. I like the programming concepts it promotes. After the first touch I was very impressed. I was wondering if there are any job ads for this language.

I would like to write a cast method in Eiffel which takes 'the type to cast to' as a type parameter. Is there a way to pass a type into a method in Eiffel. The only alternative I can think of is to create a new class for the conversion. Something like: class CAST [G, H] feature cast (in: LIST [G]): LIST [H] do ...
Hi! Is there some library that allows me to easily and conveniently create Object-Oriented callbacks in c++? the language Eiffel for example has the concept of "agents" which more or less work like this: class Foo{ public: Bar* bar; Foo(){ bar = new Bar(); bar->publisher.extend(agent say(?,"Hi from Foo!", ?));...
