==When appeared?==

Infobox says 1986; text says "Since 1985, many suppliers have developed Eiffel programming environments". Any better sources? [[Special:Contributions/192.12.12.178|192.12.12.178]] ([[User talk:192.12.12.178|talk]]) 02:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

== Missing File Extension ==

Can someone who knows Eiffel add the file extension used by its components.

== Renaming mechanism flaw ==

Dear editors:

In 2022, it was discovered that the Eiffel's renaming mechanism has

serious semantic flaws, please refer to the following repo and pdf doc

for the report, and code example to demonstrate the semantic issue:

https://github.com/joortcom/eiffel_rename

https://github.com/joortcom/eiffel_rename/blob/main/eiffel_rename.pdf

Please verify the new findings as reported there, and update the

wikipedia page of the Eiffel language.

BTW, you can also check the following repo for a new design pattern

that solved the diamond problem of multiple inheritance cleanly and

generally, based on the above findings:

Happy editing!
