−	Liberty Eiffel is the GNU compiler for the Eiffel programming language. It is based on ~~the~~ former academic ~~SmartEiffel~~ project, but evolved with the scope of being usable for real world programs. Eiffel in general is an excellent object-oriented programming language, which includes the specification of the program's functionality within the code. This is nice for debugging and documentation, but also it is a big step to be able to prove the program correct.	+	Liberty Eiffel is the GNU compiler for the Eiffel programming language.
