The specification of Eiffel the language has remained largely static over its life, arguably due to its sound initial design. Still, on occasion there will be significant value in evolving Eiffel and adapting it to new challenges.

This starts with compatibility with previously valid syntax, moves through the latest standard, and forward to language features which are currently supported but not yet etched into the standard.

EiffelStudio project settings supports four of these syntax compilation variants:
