Hi * This is to let you know that Eiffel Software has released their premier Eiffel development IDE/compiler, called, EiffelStudio for FreeBSD 32 and 64 bits (and OpenBSD, Linux, and Solaris) under a dual-licensing scheme: for GPLed projects, you may use Eiffel Studio without paying for a license. Eiffel is an Object Oriented language with built-in safe programming features (Design by Contract, Garbage Collection) and performance on par with C++. This is great news, everyone! Yet another commercial software company betting their chips the FreeBSD platform (recently, a major Common Lisp vendor - Lispworks - also announced their IDE for FreeBSD). I think some of you hackers out there will appreciate this news. (*) Hopefully, someone will write a port for it. Best regards, Henry Lenzi (*) I realise this GPL choice will not result in any *BSD using it for system software. Nevertheless, some might find it usefull (e.g., the scientific community).
