Had a lot of fun with Eiffel back in the day. Being able to work closely with Bertrand on the language was a great privilege.
For me the great innovation of Eiffel was the ability to turn off the pre-conditions once you'd shown the code works, thereby preventing your code methods wasting time verifying and validating the parameters needlessly at run time.
