EiffelStudio is a modern IDE offering the following features:
   * Complete compiler for the Eiffel programming language, with both high
     compile-time speed and high-performance executables
   * Support for Windows, MacOS X, Linux, *BSD, Solaris and other operating
     systems
   * Smart code editor
   * Sophisticated multi-view browsing and viewing facilities
   * Interactive debugger
   * Graphical modelling tool for UML and BON with full roundtrip
   * Refactoring support
   * GUI development tool and fully portable GUI library
The Eiffel compiler creates C code that is then handed to a standard C
compiler. As a result, Eiffel programs have a run-time performance comparable
to those directly written in C or C++. At the same time, Eiffel is an object
oriented and strongly typed language. EiffelStudio uses a highly efficient
compacting garbage collector to free the developer from the burden of memory
management.
