Coddy?

[Ian Joyner]

I saw a question asking about a learning site called Coddy, which I’d never heard of.

It listed about 20 languages to learn, but Eiffel was not there. I don’t know who authors the lessons or how to get another language there, but perhaps we can get Eiffel on such sites.

I also never heard about Coddy. But, I am always afraid that Eiffel is never mentioned in any Linux distribution. What do you think about?

The opensource Eiffel community nowadays is small and doesn't generate many package maintainers (or significant demand for distribution-specific packages). Anyway, volunteers are most welcome I guess.

In early 2000s some distributions included SmallEiffel/SmartEiffel packages; the Liberty Eiffel successor project declared an intent to eventually make it at least into Debian repositories, but at the time of writing the goal doesn't seem to be in sight. https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?12856

The first step would probably be to provide an installation package, maybe via an open build service, the Eiffel license allowing (I didn't check).
Like https://openbuildservice.org/

I use Eiffel Studio in linux. 

The instructions provided in the page were good.

And recently when I had a problem I have the error message to Claude AI and it was able to install it perfectly.

Currently my problems with Eiffel Studio is not installation... but some times wimdow redrawing fails.

Thus is my fault since I use XMonad Window Manager... but that is a very specific problem to me.
