EiffelStudio is an advanced commercial-grade IDE for the Eiffel programming language. It is maintained and developed mostly by Eiffel Software and hosted at the Chair of Software Engineering at ETH Zurich.

EiffelStudio is a full-featured IDE offering the following features, many of them unique:

Complete compiler for the Eiffel programming language, with Design By Contract (DBC) support and both high compile-time speed and high-performance executables, based on the Melting Ice Technology.
Full portability (including graphics) across Windows, MacOS? X, Linux, *BSD, Solaris and other operating systems
Smart code editor
Sophisticated multi-view browsing and viewing facilities
Interactive debugger
Graphical modeling tool for UML and BON with full roundtrip
Refactoring support
GUI development tool (EiffelBuild?) and fully portable GUI library (EiffelVision?)
Many other libraries of reusable component.

The Eiffel compiler creates C code that is then handed to a standard C compiler. As a result, Eiffel programs have a run-time performance comparable to those directly written in C or C++, but with the benefits of an advanced object-oriented model and strong typing. EiffelStudio uses a highly efficient compacting garbage collector to free the developer from the burden of memory management.
