EIFFEL will win for interfacing any C / C++ / JAVA external libraries.

And forget such kind of test for many languages like Tcl / Java ...

Let show an example:

	one write a C library and publish the interface:
		float compute_it_fast(float x, float y)
	then you must call that library
	with JAVA: write an additional C library that is a JNI/C proxy stub
		it is not JAVA
		it is boring
		it is not interesting
	Same with Tcl and many other languages
	C and C++ are naturally privileged
	EIFFEL do it in one line

And from an other point de vue, it is not interresting because CORBA (ORBIT), 
client/server protocols, are better ways of integrating libraries/components 
in an huge project.
