Re: Embedded systems - is Eiffel small enough?

GPL is a good way to go, but you have to respect the GPL. If you
develop a GPL compiler, it's GPL code. Anything developed in the
modified compiler is also GPL code. This might not be the ideal.

However, you can get small binaries from the Eiffel Software compiler.
Stripping out the GC and implementing a small version of EiffelBase can
give you extremely small binaries. What you are trying to target is
extremely small. I'm assuming there is a runtime library already
available on the ROM?

I've looked at using the GPL compiler to develop a compiler for the
Lego Mindstorms system.
