Back in January 1990, I'd already heard of Eiffel and I'd seen copies
of OOSC, but the thing that really got me interested was an article
about DbC in Dr Dobbs Journal by Bertrand Meyer.
20 years later, Eiffel has made a comeback to DDJ, this time in online
form:

The authors' names look familiar :-)
