Well, the main reason is for what Eiffel has to offer me. If anybody knows please do say.
Implementation has to be extremely efficient.
I estimate that using Eiffel for my hobby-pilot project is not a big risk. This is an excellent opportunity to make Eiffel visible to the masses. Vendors should pay attention to that. Configuration options and help material for the tools should be accessible from the user's fingertips. Maybe a good document with rationale describing what the product is, and especially what it is NOT, should be very valuable.
