Eiffel's syntax is more like Delphi or Pascal, but still radically different.
Eiffel doesn't share Lisp's parentheses craziness. I think eventually I'll
consider Eiffel to have an elegence, simplicity, and performance theology that
corresponds to that of Euphoria, but with a object oriented paradigm instead.

If you were using inline ASM all the time, how would you benefit much from the
features? More features bog down a language, it may help you build a better
program faster, but it usually doesn't improve execution speed. The reason D does
so well in the shootout benchmarks (overall) is because all the benchmark testing
applications are available and run, where as some languages have 10 or 20+
missing and/or broken programs, thus recieving a poorer overall score.

Derek wants nothing to do with RDS and he has demonstrated that openly.
