I'm debating what language to use for an experimental server project of
mine. Right now it's between Eiffel and Obj-C. Eiffel is expensive, but
has a lot of elements that I happen to like in the language. Obj-C is
free, and has the added bonuses of being compatible with my C++ frameworks
and I'm also familiar with it (I don't know Eiffel, just been reading up on
it).
The important thing is portability to FreeBSD and/or Linux. With Obj-C I
can do the majority of my coding with PB then (trivially?) port to another
Unix platform using GnuStep - I hope. With Eiffel I can probably use
SmallEiffel for final deployment while doing the majority of it in one of
the commercial IDEs.
Any comments or advice?
Thanks,
Brian
