  • Eiffel (programming language)

    Eiffel is an ISO-standardized, object-oriented programming language designed by Bertrand Meyer (an object-orientation proponent and author of Object-Oriented Software Construction) and Eiffel Software. The design of the language is closely connected with the Eiffel programming method. Both are based on a set of principles, including design by contract, command-query separation, the uniform-access principle, the single-choice principle, the open-closed principle, and option-operand separation.

    Many concepts initially introduced by Eiffel later found their way into Java, C#, and other languages. New language design ideas, particularly through the Ecma/ISO standardization process, continue to be incorporated into the Eiffel language.

    Characteristics

    The key characteristics of the Eiffel language include:

  • An object-oriented program structure in which a class serves as the basic unit of decomposition.
  • Design by contract tightly integrated with other language constructs.
  • Eiffel (band)

    Eiffel is a French rock group founded in 1998 around Romain Humeau.

    Their influences range from the Pixies to Léo Ferré, encompassing Jacques Brel, Sonic Youth, Serge Gainsbourg, The Buzzcocks, Noir Désir, the Stooges, David Bowie, Sixteen Horsepower the Kinks, the Beatles, Tears For Fears, Fugazi, XTC, Deus, and also Boris Vian and Louis Calaferte.

    Their name comes from a song by the Pixies named "Alec Eiffel" on the album Trompe Le Monde.

    Beginnings

    It was after serious differences with his record label (Warner Music Group) that the group Eiffel was born in February 1998 from the ashes of Oobik & The Pucks, a group formed in September 1995 which was composed of Romain Humeau, Estelle Humeau, Frédéric Vitani and Nicolas Courret. Disgusted by how the record company managed the group, bassist Frédéric Vitani left and gave his place to Damien Lefèvre.

    Avec des si, ça n'en finirait pas
    D'être pour toujours
    Avec des si, du bonheur à tout va
    Sur ses quatre pattes de velours
    Avec des si, nous aurions tous les droits
    L'amer ne serait plus à boire
    Mais des flots d'amour gore
    L'Athanor, l'amande douce
    Avec des si, des lumières jailliraient de la plaine
    Dans l'ultime immensité
    Avec des si, nous mettrions dans le mille
    De l'inaccessible beauté
    Avec des si, Paris en bouteille
    Boire au Calice des merveilles
    Des permis de polluer
    Avec des si, mais oui, vous êtes la plus belle
    A la lumière d'un sémaphore
    Qui projette au-delà des sordides
    Avec des si, du haut des ailes d'un Phénix
    Des cendres et revenez
    Avec des si, nous mettrions dans le mille
    De l'inaccessible beauté
    Avec des si, il nous suffirait de cracher
    Sur les axiomes sacrés
    L'indécence des financiers
    Avec des si, passons de Charybde en Scylla
    Ou passons le coche en silence
    Et que finisse l'indifférence
    L'indifférence
