CM3 eliminates the need for elaborate and >system-dependent makefiles. It also comes with a standard array of >cross-platform libraries. Finally, CM3 allows tight binding with >legacy C code. All these features make CM3 an ideal tool for serious >systems programming tasks. Why invent a new language to do all this, and then advertise in an Eiffel group? Eiffel has been doing all that for years!
