BoxLang vs. Eiffel vs. Python vs. Ring Comparison Chart

Eiffel is the most comprehensive approach to the construction of successful object-oriented software. You spend less on development, debugging, and maintenance. You get the bugs before they get you. You release quality products ahead of your competitors. Easier in every way, understanding, maintenance, reuse, and extension. Eiffel is the only approach that covers analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance in a single framework. Systems developed using Eiffel can be made portable across major industry platforms. Based on a small number of powerful ideas from computer science and software engineering. Products of all phases are recorded in a single document with multiple views. Exists to express the products of the Eiffel Method. Supports features not always available in competing technologies. Exception handling based on software specification (versus ad hoc try/catch). Widely recognized as simultaneously the simplest and most complete implementation of object-oriented concepts.

The Ring is a practical general-purpose multi-paradigm language. The supported programming paradigms are imperative, procedural, object-oriented, declarative using nested structures, functional, meta programming and natural programming. The language is portable (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, WebAssembly, etc.) and can be used to create Console, GUI, Web, Games and Mobile applications. The language is designed to be simple, small and flexible. The language is simple, trying to be natural, encourage organization and comes with transparent and visual implementation. It comes with compact syntax and a group of features that enable the programmer to create natural interfaces and declarative domain-specific languages in a fraction of time. It is very small, flexible and comes with smart garbage collector that puts the memory under the programmer control. It supports many programming paradigms, comes with useful and practical libraries.
