Eiffel is known for its strong emphasis on software reliability and maintainability, featuring design by contract, which enhances program correctness through explicit contracts for classes and methods. Its object-oriented nature promotes code reuse and modularity. However, disadvantages include a smaller community and ecosystem compared to more popular languages, which can limit available libraries and resources. Additionally, the learning curve can be steep for those unfamiliar with its unique syntax and concepts.

Any. As long as a language has the programming structures to access memory directly (DMA, IO ports, IRQ) AND it can be compiled (isn't run at a command interpretor) it can be used to create an operating system: the more general the language, the more platforms that OS can run on i.e. Binary/Machine Language is extremely hardware specific, Assembler less so, C (and Pascal and Fortran) even less so, C++/Smalltalk/Eiffel the least. An OS doens't have to be 50 quintillion lines of code; the original Linux kernel and a few Gnu utilities ran on one floppy disk (1.44 meg), DOS 5 was 3 floppy disks, Windows 95 took about 150 meg on a CD, Windows NT about 300meg on CD, and so on. As each version of operating system grows in features, so does it storage footprint.
The builder, engineer Gustav Eiffel, used a structural design by Maurice Koechlin.

"e language" typically refers to Eiffel, a programming language known for its emphasis on object-oriented design. "L language" can refer to several different programming languages, such as Lisp, Lua, and LabVIEW, each with its own unique features and applications.
Bertrand Meyer is an academic, author, and consultant in the field of computer languages.He created the Eiffel programming language.

"Eiffel" is the name of the engineer who promoted the construction of the tower. It has no signification as a noun in French.

It's a computer language AND a tower in France, the name deriving from a region in Germany.
